Student Assistant Spotlight: Jake

This week, we're highlighting some of the great work that our student assistants do at the library. Be on the lookout for their pictures around the library and blog posts throughout the week to learn a little bit more about them and what they do.


Jake is our resident computer nerd among the student assistants, so we're sure to let him take a crack at some of the harder tech questions. Additionally, he's great with customer service so he's an all around great fit for the Public Services desk. Thanks for all your hard work, Jake!
