Bookends: A Library Newsletter | 1/17/2025 |
2025 is off to … a start! What more can we say? And so, so are we! Yesterday brought three new printers to the library, and while they are mostly working, there are a few kinks that we are still working out, and we appreciate your patience while we do so! For those who used and loved our previous main floor printers, Pierre and Gilles, we are working to see if we can find them a new home. If not, we may hold some kind of memorial in their honor. Each of them, if you can believe it, printed over 1 million pages in their service here at the Evergreen Library.
In addition to new printers, we are also pleased to welcome some new staff (and some existing staff in new roles) to the library!
Grant Mandarino is our new Archivist and is just now wrapping up his second week here at Evergreen. In addition his background in archives, Grant holds additional expertise and interest around art history and comparative literature. Archives hours have been updated on our hours page, including new drop-in hours! If you have an archives-related research question, or if you’d like to schedule an appointment, please email us at archives@evergreen.edu.
We are also pleased to announce that Ren Thomas has moved from the circulation desk to join us as an Adjunct Faculty Librarian on our Research Services Team. Ren’s expertise and interests include: Humanities, Literature, Graphic Novels and Comics, Queer Studies, Library User Experience, and Critical Librarianship. If you’d like to schedule a workshop or research consultation with Ren, you can find the appropriate contact info via our Contact Us page.
We’re also happy to (re-)welcome Makenna Ramey, a proud Greener Grad and formerly a library student worker, who will support Circulation with expanded duties during Ren's faculty appointment.
As always, the library remains here to help in all your academic endeavors, and our open hours for winter quarter are:
Hours for additional services, including research support, rare books, and archives may be found on the Library Service Hours web page.

The Writing Center, as a part of Evergreen’s AI Working Group, is hosting a survey to learn more about usage trends, concerns, and impacts that Generative AI may be having on the academic environment here at Evergreen. The survey is 100% anonymous, and your feedback gives us valuable information about what students need and want when it comes to AI tools in higher education.
As a thank you for participating, stop by the Writing Center in LIB 2304 to pick up a treat!
You can find and complete the survey here: https://forms.office.com/r/108PsRsunj
