An Interview with Stephanie Krauss

Hirsh’s favorite puppet, Lizzy, took a walk down to Sackler 4 to interview our Circulation Assistant Stephanie Krauss at the Library Service Desk!

Hi Stephanie! Who are these?

They’re our little study buddies, we made them during a Fun Lab activity.

Do they work here all day?
They do, yeah. They actually never leave. So they’re here 24/7.

Do you work here all day?

I just work in afternoons…From 12pm-5pm Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and from 2pm-7pm on Fridays.

What do you do here at Hirsh?

I’m mostly just at the desk, I help people find articles, check out a lot of materials, laptops..phone chargers, books… we have a lot of stuff! Anything you need!

What do you do when you’re not at the library?

Well, I’m currently working two other jobs and I’m getting two master’s degrees: one in Library Science and one in History.

Oh wow!

This is an example of all my readings!

Yikes! That’s a lot of readings.

 

If you could be any celebrity puppet for a day, who would you be?

Definitely Elmo.

Good choice

What’s your favorite thing about working here?

My favorite thing about working here is probably the people–both my coworkers and all of our students!

 

What’s the coolest thing you can check out down here at the desk?

Probably the coolest thing we have is…hmm…well we have real human skulls.

Skulls!!!

Would you be able to show me one?

Yeah, I can, if they’re not both checked out right now. Let me see…

Lizzy and the Study Buddies have absconded to study! Wish you had your own study buddy? You’re in luck! Stop by the Library Service Desk starting at 12pm on Wed 10/26 and Thurs 10/27 and you can make your own.
