Every great library needs someone helping keep all the pieces moving.

Our Dean of the Library works behind the scenes to support our staff, advocate for the library, help guide our vision, and keep us moving forward.

Leadership in a library is about more than managing the day-to-day—it’s about creating opportunities for our staff, supporting our students and faculty, and making sure the library continues to grow alongside our campus community.

Thank you, Hillary, for your leadership, support, and dedication to our library! 📚✨

Preserving the past. Supporting the present. Preparing for the future. 📜📚

Our Archives & Instruction team wears a lot of hats! From preserving materials and helping researchers uncover the stories held within our collections to teaching students how to navigate and use library resources, their work connects people with information in meaningful ways.

Whether they’re helping someone discover something new or making sure something important isn’t lost to time, we’re grateful for everything they do.

Thank you, Archives & Instruction, for helping us learn from where we’ve been and build toward where we’re going! 🔎✨

The books don’t magically appear on the shelves… well, not quite! ✨📚

Meet our Technical Services team! Behind the scenes, this team works to make sure the materials you’re looking for are acquired, processed, cataloged, organized, and ready to find.

Their work may happen behind the scenes, but it plays a huge role in making your library experience possible.

Thank you, Tech Services, for keeping everything in order—one book, record, and barcode at a time! 💻📖
