Gumberg Library Announces Student and Staff Awards

In collaboration with the celebration of National Library Week, Gumberg Library announced the winners of its annual Student Endowed Scholarship and Staff Excellence Award.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact, this year’s National Library Week theme was Find the Library in Your Place. The awardees were announced during the library’s April 23 virtual open house, held in part to share and celebrate the hard work of Gumberg staff in providing many online library services and resources.

Library student employee Alivia Montgomery, a dual major in the McAnulty College of Liberal Arts and the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business, was named the Gumberg Library Student Endowed Scholarship winner. The scholarship was founded by Gumberg employees to recognize student workers’ contributions to meeting the library’s mission.

Library assistant Rosa Stoffa received the 2020 Gumberg Library Staff Excellence Award for making meaningful contributions to the library mission. This award was created to acknowledge excellence, initiative and creativity in service. Stoffa was nominated by her colleagues.

Gumberg Library continues to offer many of its services online through the summer by chat, phone and email. Visit the Ask Gumberg section on the library website to contact a librarian.
