Good Luck, Abby!


After several years of service in the library, Abby Silchuk is leaving Wayne College to pursue a full time position at the University of Akron Law Library.

Abby started as a student assistant in 2001 and was promoted to a staff library assistant position a few years later. Abby has left her mark in the library by developing the children’s literature collection, teachers resources, and most recently, the kit collection. Today the archives would still be a stack of smelly boxes and disorganized file cabinets if not for Abby’s tenacity and organizational skills!

We will all miss Abby’s presence at the information desk and behind the scenes, but wish her well as she continues her library career. Good luck, Abby!
