<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif;color:black">Back in 1987, I was a new student at Peninsula College with the goal of brushing up my clerical skills and landing a day job that would support my young family. I had the good
fortune of being assigned to the library as a workstudy student. Good fortune indeed, I had no idea of the impact that small turn of fate would have on my future.
<span style="background:white">The director, Paula Doherty, had a clear vision of how evolving technology would influence library workflows and services. Very early on she realized that the library would need personnel dedicated to supporting it. </span>I
finished my degree at PC, then made the decision to accept a permanent position in the library. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

a larger group of users. These were some really great years. I met so many talented folks and together we did lots of good work supporting faculty and students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
