Once again, Bryn Mawr College has been fortunate that some wonderful librarians have joined us in the last year. You will find them ready to help you at the Reference Desk, in Special Collections and in our Technical Services Department. Let’s meet the latest members of the Bryn Mawr College Library Staff.

She has also worked in several academic institutions including North Carolina State University, Duke University, and Emory University. She will be working with the college’s prints and photographs collections preparing them for cataloging and digitization.
