I\u2019ll be working the overnight shifts at O\u2019Neill as an Access Service Assistant. At the moment I am focusing on my writing and would like to brush up on my drawing skills in the future. I love mythology and folktales when I get a second to read, but I\u2019m usually interrupted by my two cats, Stella and Loki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kellyn Johnson, Access Services Specialist, O\u2019Neill Library<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kellyn-Johnson0016_crop.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of smiling person with red glasses and long brown hair, in a black and yellow floral shirt and white sweater against a dark background.\" class=\"wp-image-2577\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kellyn-Johnson0016_crop.jpg 545w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kellyn-Johnson0016_crop-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kellyn-Johnson0016_crop-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kellyn Johnson, new Access Services Specialist at O&#8217;Neill Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m Kellyn Johnson, the new Access Services Specialist at BC O\u2019Neill\u2019s Library. I can often be found either at my desk, battling the fierce opponents of spreadsheets and emails, or on a treasure hunt through the stacks for lost books. I recently graduated with a Bachelor\u2019s degree of Liberal Arts, and hope to continue to further my education in art and cultural history. I\u2019ve always wanted to work in a library, and being surrounded by books all day is just as lovely as I imagined! I enjoy both reading and writing primarily fiction, hanging out with friends, curling up with a good book, and cuddling with my dogs. Thanks for welcoming me to BC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manda Tuttle, Access Services Assistant, O\u2019Neil Library<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manda-1024x1022.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo portrait of a blonde person in v-neck black top and grey skirt, one hand on a stack of books, against a background of bricks.\" class=\"wp-image-2573\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manda-1024x1022.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manda-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manda-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manda-768x766.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manda-1320x1317.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manda.jpeg 1403w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Manda Tuttle, new Access Services Assistant at O&#8217;Neill Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hello! I am an Access Service Assistant but I split my time 60\/40 between the Interlibrary Loan office and the Access Services office. I am from Fort Worth, Texas and I moved to Boston in Fall of 2022.
