After reading the title of today's post you might be a bit surprised to see the miniature poodle featured above! Unfortunately she is not allowed to tromp the stacks of Crowell library, but alas I too am featured and am so fortunate to tromp around and be the new volunteer! My name is Emily Lofquist and I am about to begin my final semester in the fall as a Biblical Studies major. Some of you may have seen me on campus, and now on most Thursdays you will see me doing various jobs around the library! One of which is to update the blog. I will be updating regularly regarding my "volunteer adventures" and all the splendid things happening at Crowell Library.
When I'm not at the library for volunteer work--I'm there for research. Specifically, research for my summer internship as a Biblical Studies major. I intern with my church at a nursing home church plant--Heritage Anglican! My research revolves around the weekly lectionary readings and I gather all the exegetical information for the homily.
When I'm not at the library for volunteer work, or research purposes--I'm there to pillage the free shelf! I faithfully watch the "free shelf has been updated" sign because the free shelf is the foundation of my current art project. My current project revolves around the theme of one man's trash is my reformed treasure. In laymen's terms, I'm poor! So all my artwork is centered around items that are free/I happen upon: on sidewalks, in dumpsters, but mostly from the free shelf! The two photos (above and below) are both collages based on items from the free shelf with a bit of acrylic paint.
So, if you stop by the blog as the summer continues,
I'll be the go-to-girl with the "in" at Crowell Library as volunteer and part time blogger!
