If you have visited the Clarke Historical Library in person, you already
know that our student employees are a big part of the daily operations
of running the library smoothly. In the reading room, they assist our
users with many duties from making photocopies to doing minor research.
They prep documents for microfilming, run errands, help with the Clarke
website, and process collections. They often are given many of our
tedious jobs and they do them cheerfully. Many of our students come to
us as freshmen, and leave 4 or 5 years later when they graduate and head
out into the “real world.” This year we have five such students
graduating on May 5. Between the 5 of them, they total close to 20 years
of experience!
We wish our graduating students well and
thank them for their exceptional service to the library. Besides taking a
bit of us with them, they leave a little of themselves behind, too.
