If you’ve been in the Library lately, you’ve noticed some new faces! As we return to normal hours, we bought on a few new friendly faces, including Paul! Paul has had a long career in radio and is excited to venture into Library services. He is working part-time in our Circulation Department. We thought a lighthearted interview to introduce Paul was in order. Say hello the next time you see him at the Customer Service Desk.
