Pam Williams Retires May 1

Pam Williams, Associate Director for User Services, is retiring after serving Frostburg State University and the Lewis J. Ort Library for more than 34 years. Pam used her endless knowledge to provide extensive service and support to students, faculty, staff, and researchers at the Reference Desk, through answering questions via e-mail, through meeting with students one-on-one through Research Consultations, and through answering questions via the library's 24/7 chat service.

Pam's knowledge and dedication to the Lewis J. Ort Library and to Frostburg State University will be missed.

Good luck Pam!

30 Years Service at FSU's Ort Library

Charlene Vassallo  joined the Periodical Staff at the Ort Library on May 22, 1985,  and Pam Williams was hired as Reference and Bibliographic Instruction Librarian on August 19, 1985. 

Both were recently honored for 30 years of service at the FSU Service Awards Luncheon and presented with commemorative glass bowls.

Where The Wild Things Are

You will find both Maurice Sendak's book Where the Wild Things Are  and Oliver Knussen's fantasy opera inspired by the book on Floor 2 of the Ort Library.

The Library's roving photographer, Charles Courtney, found three library staff members on Floor 3 sporting animal prints yesterday. Nancy Frost, Emily Zumbrun and Pam Williams were surprised that they had been inspired to wear similar attire when they reported to work at the library on Monday.
