    Posted

    It only took one tour of William & Mary for me to know that the College was for me. I remember that day fondly.

    The best part of working at the library is certainly the patrons and the people I work with.

    My name is Keyyatta Bonds, and I am part of the second cohort of the William & Mary Libraries Mosaic Program. I am Sophomore at the College, planning to major in International Relations (even though taking more ECON classes is not what I envisioned for my future).

    I started working at Swem in my very first week of freshman year and fell in love with the place immediately. On my first day, I wandered the library to fill out a scavenger-hunt-esque training exercise that introduced me to the labyrinth of books that serves as the cultural capital of our campus. The building really does it all.

  • Student Voices: Carrie Yang

    Posted

    Hi everyone! My name is Zihan Yang, most people know me as Carrie. I'm an international student from China and this is my third year at William & Mary (how time flies). Back home, I love to spend my free time at my high school's library and the public library, so when I came to college, the first place I went to check out was the library. I immediately fell in love with our Swem library because it's so beautiful and resourceful.

  • Student Voices: Elisabeth Merrifield

    Posted

    My name is Elisabeth Merrifield. Yes, it is spelled with an 's' and not a 'z' mainly because my parents did not want me to be called 'Liz' (it did not work). I am a senior at the College. I am double majoring in government and history. I transferred in the Fall of 2015 and have loved it here. I play for the Gold Women's Club Volleyball team and love my team. They are outstanding and ridiculously smart people.

    Posted

    Hey, fellow Swem-goers! My name is Alexis and I have been working at Swem Circulation for over a year now. I started out as an assistant, shelving and sorting from the books needed for final papers. Last year, I was able to help deliver books to professors all over campus. And as it turns out, books can bring more excitement when you get to drive them in a golf-cart, trying not to get stuck behind tour groups (otherwise known as flamingos).

    In my first two years at W&M, I rarely went to Swem. It was crowded and busy and stressful, and I preferred the coziness of my own room. But for the past year and a half, I have stepped into Swem hundreds of times, more than my freshman self could have possibly imagined.

    Hi, I'm Azana Carr, and I work as a student assistant for the W&M Libraries External Relations office.  The best way to describe my job is: "You know all the events, workshops, and therapy dogs that happen in Swem? We do that!"

  • Student Voices: Grace Aylor

    Posted

    Hi! My name is Grace and I've been working at the Swem Circulation desk for a little over a year now. If you come to Swem often enough you might know me as 'the girl with the bangs.' Even though it's only been a year, I am here so often now some of the full-time Swem staff are convinced that I've been here forever!
