Lost a book? Printer acting up? Can’t remember which floor has the quiet study rooms? Madeleine’s your person. She’s been the friendly face at the circulation desk for almost four years, first as a student, and now as a part of the access services team! Off the clock, she’s probably outside, rooting for anything with leaves, and has strong opinions about the best tree on campus. Ask her about it. You’ve been warned.
