Hi Joyce, I'm an older college student (54 and will receive my Master's in Social Work in May from UALR). I too meet Dr. Littlefield in a local library, and yes he has a wealth of information at the Center. Thank you for offering to volunteer time there. They need all the help. They have so much information that still needs to be cataloged and put in order so it' accessible.
