Library Career Opportunities Library Careers Program: Notes from Our Interns The CMC: A Student’s Guide, by Justin Kemp Where on campus can you find puppets, picture books, and puzzles in one location? That’s right, the Curriculum Materials Center (or CMC; we like acronyms in the library)! Those brave students who venture into the depths of the library’s dungeon encounter a haven to the left of the stairs where they can stock up on joy before trudging away to battle assignments. Inside you’ll encounter not only a warm and colorful atmosphere while reading in the comfiest chairs in the library, but also friendly library minions (AKA student workers) and Sharon Kerestes, a librarian—ahem—research wizard who loves helping students find the perfect spell for their project. Don’t forget to check out the Bulletin Board as you walk in—the student workers take turns creating beautiful displays which might map out a book you didn’t know we had—and peruse the shelves for hidden gems before you settle down. We also have tables where you can meet up with your team of homework warriors and plot together how you’ll slay the dragons during finals week. But be careful not to stay too late! Even the CMC cannot protect you from monsters like sleep deprivation. A warning bell will sound, and the library minions will go out to rescue anyone locked in battle with a textbook. As you tromp back up the stairs with your armor pulled tight against the cold, we hope you’ll feel a little warmer inside having rested in the CMC. We are now accepting applications for the Fall 2024 Library Internship course. Please visit the library’s website to learn more and to apply.
