The University of Wyoming recently appointed Abby Beaver, Wyoming State Librarian, as an adjunct faculty member. This appointment recognizes the many important roles Abby and the Wyoming State Library perform not only for the state in general but also for the university.
When asked how she felt about the appointment, Abby responded, “The University of Wyoming holds special meaning for me as both my alma mater and where I began my library career. I’m elated and deeply honored to have been named UW Adjunct Faculty. UW Dean of Libraries, Cass Kvenild, and I have already had some great discussions about opportunities for Wyoming libraries and residents.”
According to the University of Wyoming, Adjunct Faculty, “…make available to the University, on a limited or part-time basis, the services of persons who have attained recognition in their professional fields of scholarship, creativity, or other distinguished accomplishments relevant to University programs.” This description fits State Librarian Abby Beaver perfectly, and the Wyoming State Library congratulates Abby on this honor and achievement.
