On Dec. 19th, we held a farewell party for our retiring Acquisitions Librarian, Hobbie Carlson. Because many of you were already away for the Christmas holiday, you might have missed this news.
Here is a lovely comment from Elaine Hooley about Hobbie's long service to the Seminary :
Hobbie began here on June 1, 1978 when Fred Stair was president of Union and there was not a single computer in the Library. After 18 years in the old Library, Hobbie was part of the great move to Morton. With her background in French she did translations for John Leith, Rebecca Weaver, Bob Benedetto, and Dr. Trotti . Hobbie was a wonderful storyteller who often left us in tears with her accounts of her adventures. In her 33+ years of service here, she acquired over 100,000 titles for the Library. She is an important part of the history of the Library and the Seminary.
So many faithful and diligent staff members make Union Seminary what it is today. Many thanks to Hobbie Carlson!
