Meet our student representatives -

Maddie Graham, Friends student representative.

Maddie Graham is a junior Public History major with minors in Art History and Gender Studies.  In addition to her studies, she is a student circulation assistant and assistant to the Public Services Librarian at the library, a student fellow for the Center for Public Humanities, as well as a student representative on the Library Committee.  She has a huge passion for libraries and books.  Her favorite pastime is reading and disappearing into worlds cleverly crafted by authors she adores.  When her nose isn't stuck in a book, you can find her dreaming of her next great adventure or studying in the library with her friends.

 

 Emmy Fogle, Friends student representative.Emmy Fogle is a junior at Messiah University with a major in Public History and minors in Art History and Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies.  She has been an intern at the Brethren in Christ Archives at Messiah University and a Fellow for the Center for Public Humanities at Messiah University and an intern for the Marketing Team at Adams County Historical Society.  She is very excited to be on the Friends of Murray Library board because she's always loved books and libraries, even pretending to have her own library in her room when she was young.  She can't wait to be able to serve and be able to help her library.
