The Lynn Library is lucky to have so many great student workers. During the semester, we’re open seven days a week including five nights until midnight. It would be impossible for us to keep such extensive hours and offer the great services we do, if not for our amazing group of student workers.
This year, the library is in a unique position. We’re losing nearly half of our student workers to graduation. Many of them have worked at the library for years, and we’re proud of these excellent people. Among them are musicians, athletes, sports and science enthusiasts, humanitarians, and budding business, marketing, and investment professionals. Their futures are bright and we look forward to seeing their positive influence on the world.
We would like to take this time to thank them for their service to the library and the university at large. Here they are in alphabetical order (by last name, because we’re librarians and that’s how we roll):
