This is JoAnne Howell when she was our Reference Librarian. The "where" answer is clearly this is the reference desk but it was in what is now the Computer Place. When the library building was initially expanded the reference librarian and the periodicals were located there. JoAnne, now retired but still teaching part time, went on to be the college's first Distance Education Coordinator.
