    I worked there my Freshman year, checking out books and reshelving them. I loved that library!

    I know it wasn’t a beautiful building, but I’m sorry to see it go. For four years, I worked there as part of my Work/Study financial aid. My freshman year, I typed entries into the card catalog and gradually worked my way up to the check-out desks. By my senior year, I was smart enough to choose the least busy desk tucked away in the stacks, where I was able to spend my time “getting paid” to study. Yes, I’m going to miss the Meyer!
