If you have been to the library this fall and have noticed things are a bit different; there is something just “not right” about the library it is because we are missing our Reference and Public Services Librarian, Karen Parsons.
Karen is on sabbatical this semester and is in Burundi volunteering with Hope Africa University where she will be helping with the library and training librarians. She will there until December and return to SAU january 2010. If you want to keep up with Karen while she in Burundi, you can follow her blog.
Helping us at the library this Fall in Karen’s abscence in Reference Librarian, Mary Kelly. Mary comes to us from the Salem-South Lyon District Library where she is the Adult & Teen Librarian. In addition to her duties at Salem-South Lyon District Library and at SAU, Mary maintains two blogs, The Practical Librarian and an Awful Library Books. She was recently interview by Michigan Public Radio about the Awful Library Books blog. When you see Mary at the reference desk, please welcome her to Spring Arbor.
