Employee Awards 2024
Exemplary Employee Award Winners
Kathleen B. Garcia
Library Information Specialist 3 • Access Services, Zimmerman Library
Kathleen is always helpful and never walks away when there is a problem- be it technology, patron issues or desk coverage. She has a deep institutional knowledge and has pleasant and productive relationships with our student employees, fellow staff, and patrons. Few people have as large of a footprint in making our organization a success and Katgar performs all her duties to the highest standard.
Mary Tuttle
Library Information Specialist 3
Mary has consistently dedicated her time and excelled in her work with the Libraries and Technical Services. She consistently volunteers her time to improve the College by working on committees promoting staff. In addition she is volunteering to take on additional duties in Technical Services as she sees the need. The Technical Services Department and the Library would not be able to function in ordering and payment processes without Mary's dedication to the job and her willingness to volunteer outside her duties when needed.

Jonathan Hartshorn (Library Information Specialist 3)
The Rooms Working Group has made huge strides over the last year to improving the efficiency and utility of our drop-in and reservable spaces within our libraries, as well as connecting our patrons to library services beyond access, and providing the UL with essential data about rooms' usage.
These changes amount to a fully self-directed project to better our services for library users. But they also further the library's ability to self-assess and respond to the changing needs of our patrons.
