Library Director

The journey started at a 2016 meeting of the college’s Learning Resources Committee, which I chair as Library Director, A student representative casually commented that our Library looked “dated”.  Not that we actually WERE dated, we have electronic resources, 24/7 remote access, printers, scanners, wireless, and a state-of-the-art Library Management System.  However, through the eyes of our young student, the Library looked “like something from the 1970s.”  Anyone who has lived through that decade’s will know that was not meant as a compliment.  The student’s criticism prompted the Dean of Academic Affairs, who sat in on the meeting, to ask when the Library had had its last “facelift.”   That was an easy one to answer - as far as I knew…never.  And I’ve been here over 20 years. Just like that, a renovation was born.  How hard could this be?  I would query the students on what a suitable update might look like, get a budget, buy some new furniture, and go back to the business of being a librarian rather than an interior designer.  Spoiler alert:  not so fast.
