Please welcome our newest team member, Kelsey Nation, to Davidson! As Acquisitions & Collections Specialist, Kelsey will oversee the procurement and processing of new library materials. She will also partner with faculty, staff, and students to support projects that seek to refine our existing collections with an emphasis on the values of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.
Kelsey Nation comes to us from Forsyth Technical Community College where she most recently served as Library Technical Services Specialist. With over eight years of experience in library services, Kelsey has excelled in roles that include cataloging, interlibrary loan, circulation, shelf reading, and community programming. Before her current position, she worked as a Library Technician at Forsyth and a Library Associate at the City of Greensboro’s Benjamin Branch Library, where she led adult programming and facilitated literary workshops. Kelsey holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and is pursuing a Master of Education in Academic Librarianship from East Carolina University. Her commitment to community engagement is further reflected in her volunteer work, including facilitating the Bards Unbound Poetry Workshop and participating in literary festivals.
We’re so excited to have Kelsey on board! You can find Kelsey back in the ILL area of the library. Stop by and say hello (and share a favorite poem if you have one!) the next time you are on campus.
