Celebrating Libraries and Library Workers

Every April, we celebrate National Library Week, celebrating library workers and all they do for the community. In conjunction with NLW, Anne Springs Close Library also celebrated National Library Worker's Day on April 17. Many of the school's faculty and staff stopped by or sent cards and emails to thank the library staff for how they have touched their lives.

One administrator wrote, "The instructional support and assistance you provide is vital to the mission of the College and to the success of our students and graduates. I appreciate your leadership in making a wide variety of resources available to students, faculty, and the community."

The staff appreciates knowing that our administrators value the library's contributions to the college community. It is not unusual to find a faculty or staff member in the library looking for information while taking classes to further their own education. We often find them searching for materials for a child's school project. Many come over to pick out a book to read in their down-time or check out an audio book for trips or commutes.

If you have not met the library staff, please stop in to say hello. You will meet some of the nicest people who will be happy to assist you with your information needs. The library staff consists of two professional librarians, Kris Jones and Debbie Jones, and two paraprofessionals, Carolyn Gill, and Phyllis Hefney, as well as several student employees. All of our staff members are available to assist you in your research and information retrieval needs.
