I had the privilege of working with Dr. Hafner for a number of years during his time at Ball State University. He was a wise administrator and a true library leader. I also knew of Art through mututal friends, all of whom greatly respected him. His passing is a loss. My condolences to his family.

On behalf of the Ball State University Libraries, I offer sincere condolences to the Hafner family. Dr. Hafner capably led the Ball State University Libraries for over a decade, and his contributions are appreciated and remembered.

With Sympathy,

Matthew Shaw, Dean of University Libraries
