UC Libraries would like to welcome Charli Muszynski to the Operations and User Services Team as the Student Outreach Coordinator. In this role, Charli will be responsible for generating ideas for and orchestrating innovative events and programming that demonstrate the value of the libraries to users and stakeholders. She will have a leading role in orientation, Welcome Week, exam weeks, and other popular UCL standards. In addition, she will be part of the operations and services team that keeps Langsam Library open and operating.

Charli comes to us from Miami University, where she worked as the Assistant Director in the Office of Student Wellness. There, she led campus-wide programming surrounding mental health and worked with peer educators to curate and disseminate information and resources to students. Before her time at Miami, she earned bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Theater Arts from Duquesne University, and a Master’s in Health Education from Penn State University. Charli is looking forward to helping students engage with the many resources and opportunities available through UC Libraries and hopes to provide moments of connection and joy for the students and staff.

Welcome, Charli!

UC Libraries will be closed Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day. Regular hours will resume on Tuesday, May 26. We hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday.

Now circulating: Voces Jíbaras

Last week we had the pleasure of chatting with author Marcelino Oyola Cintrón about his book, Voces Jíbaras. The book was recently acquired by the Cohen Enrichment Collection, and it pays homage to jíbaro words that were frequently used in Puerto Rican culture, but have been lost in dialogue over time. Cintrón began writing and researching in 1965, and the first edition of the book was published in 2021.

Undergrad researchers, we have a great lineup of sessions for you.
