Meet the Librarian - Agent Double-O-Soul!
For my first post, I thought an introduction would be in order. I'm the NSH Professional Library (aka Wrenshall Oliver Library) Librarian. My last name means "soul" in German, so utilizing a little imagination and a lot of grandiosity, I become Agent Double-O-Soul! (Look it up on YouTube when you get back from work). Being as soulful as I am, I naturally watched "Soul Train" as a youngster. Then when I reached college (Cal) I majored in Undecided for 3 years or so before deciding to become a Psych Major.
