Have you noticed the eye-catching displays in the Library? Have you ever stopped to appreciate the brilliant 3-D window scenes in the hallway? Allow us to introduce you to the creator of these amazing decorations – part-time Library Clerk, Monique Myers. Come and check out Monique’s most recent display in the Library: Blind Date with the Book, dedicated to the upcoming Valentine’s Day. Books on Monique’s display are wrapped in paper, so you don’t know anything about it,  just the genre. Pick a “single” book looking for a companion without knowing its title and, who knows, you may discover your new love!

My job title is Circulation Clerk, which involves checking materials out to students and staff, and manning the circulation desk, assisting students needing help with library resources. I also discharge the returned materials and I am in charge of the displays and bulletin boards in and around the library.

I have worked in a library from the time I was 16. I started at the Tecumseh branch of ACPL, and have also worked in Genealogy, Children’s Services, and the Shawnee branch. I worked in an academic library while attending college in Indianapolis and I worked in a library while I lived in Georgia for a few years. I have an Associate degree and I am currently working towards a Bachelor degree in general studies. From there I plan on continuing to get a Masters in Library Science.

Outside of the library, I love spending time with my kids whenever possible. We enjoy going to the zoo, bowling, putt-putt, parks, taking our dogs on a walk, going letterboxing, and having movie nights to name a few. Once the kids go to bed (and if I‘m not working on homework), I enjoy reading, playing video games, or working on whatever art project I am currently in the middle of.
