"Every day, the Claire T. Carney Library serves hundreds of UMass Dartmouth students, faculty, and staff, and is a very fitting reminder of her values and remarkable legacy," Fuller wrote.

Claire T. Carney, seen here at the 2006 dedication of the Claire T. Carney Library, is mourned by the UMass Dartmouth community after her death on Sunday, March 24, at age 101.
