Junior Fellow Exhibit

Today an email was sent to all the Library employees reminding them about the Junior Fellow Exhibit that was being held on the sixth floor for most of the day. A colleague and I walked up to the event room and started chatting with some the participants. I met someone from New Mexico who had located an 1833 Plantation diary; a young man from Maryland who wanted to get a PhD in history; a young woman from Massachusetts who was very interested in rare books with an interest in Greek and Latin; and another young lady showing WWII recipe books standing in front of a poster requesting 500 bakers and 100 cooks. All were so excited about their interests and the "treasures" that they "found" in this remarkable building, and for the most part, came by the internship by looking at the USA Jobs website. I wished them luck on their future endeavors, and it reminded me that it always a positive thing to stay connected to young folks. They remind me a lot of the feelings and dreams we all had at that age- and it's a great reminder.
