Centennial Library Shelf Life, September/October 2023

Keeping Up with New Books! Biblical Heritage Gallery Exhibit: “Leaving a Legacy: Cedarville Presidents, 1954 to 2023" Four students will be working as Centennial Library Interns this fall. Janelle Burd is a senior History major. Alexis Chandler and Rachel Crane are senior English majors. Justin Kemp is a junior Linguistics major. The library internship allows students to participate in a variety of activities, projects, and presentations with the goal of discovering if a library career is a good fit for their skills and interests. Interns also learn about graduate school options for pursuing a Master of Library & Information Science degree. This year’s interns will give a presentation at the annual Library Careers Dinner on November 13, as well as create book displays, attend a professional conference, and visit other types of libraries. The 3-credit course is taken as an English independent study and is open to students from any major. Course instructor Julie Deardorff expressed her appreciation for Dr. Annis Shaver’s enthusiastic support of the Library Careers Program during her time as Interim Chair of the Department of English, Literature & Modern Languages.
