Thank You
As you gather with friends and families on Thanksgiving and think of all the things you are thankful for in your own lives, the librarians, staff and students of UC Libraries would like to express their gratitude for the people, places and activities that make working at UC worthwhile – and even fun. Below are just some of the things that make our jobs worth setting the alarm clock for.
I am thankful to have returned to my hometown a year ago for my challenging and exciting position as Digital Archivist, and to be surrounded every day by such fantastic colleagues.

I am thankful for programs such as the “Music in the Gorno Library” that provide the opportunity for me to hear concerts by talented CCM students and the “50-Minutes/One Book” lectures in the Archives and Rare Books Library that allow me to learn more about the interesting collections of UC Libraries. Any day you hear beautiful music or engage in intellectual pursuits is a good day.

I love the diversity of people I see in and around UC Libraries. It reminds me of when I was in the U.S. Air Force. I met so many peoples in the service and overseas. It taught me that we all are here on earth to learn from each other…and that we all can contribute to the betterment of our world!
