Happy National Library Week!

National Library Week (April 4 - 10, 2021) is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions and promote library use and support.  

The theme for National Library Week 2021 is "Welcome to Your Library" celebrating the ability of libraries to reach far beyond the four walls of the building to welcome everyone!  

Hewes Library staff continue to provide support to the faculty, staff and students, on and off campus this semester. Staff scan articles and chapters, mail books, facilitate research assistance in-person and virtually, and provide instructional support to classes tailored to their needs.

This week, Hewes Library is sponsoring a PEEPS Diorama contest, "Monmouth Moments," on display in the library, that includes an award for PEEPle's Choice!  Voting is April 7th - April 11th.  Take a moment to stop in and vote!

Happy National Library Week from the Hewes Library staff!

25 Years of Service

Hewes Library is thrilled to recognize two employees celebrating 25 years of service to Monmouth College!

Mindy Damewood began her Monmouth career in 1995 as a part time library supervisor, and soon transitioned to career services, assisting students in the Wackerle Center for Career, Leadership & Fellowships. Mindy has since returned to Hewes Library, serving our patrons as the Technical Processing Manager.

Marti Carwile has worked in several different offices over the years (Campus Services, Alumni Programs, Development Office) and currently serves as the Acquisitions Manager in Hewes Library.  Marti says the best part of working in so many places on campus always comes back to meeting the students and following their growth and success at Monmouth College and post-graduation.

Congratulations!
