Roberts Joins Commission of Libraries

Paul Roberts, head librarian and director of learning resources at the Nicholas J. Schrup Library, Clarke College, Dubuque, has been appointed to the Iowa Commission of Libraries. He replaces John Bennett who chose not to be reappointed to another term.

Roberts graduated from the University of California at Davis in June 1969 with a B.A. in psychology. He received an M.A. degree in social psychology from the University of Iowa in 1971 and graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a master of library science degree in 1978.

"As a long time resident of Iowa, I am proud of both Iowa and my profession," said Roberts. "I believe that I cannot be a librarian without also serving the profession of librarianship. I also want to contribute to my adopted state and membership on the Iowa Commission of Libraries is one such opportunity to contribute and serve."

Roberts worked at Loras College in Dubuque from 1978 to 1984 and has been at Clarke College since then. He has twice chaired the Iowa Private Academic Libraries group and is currently chair of the Dubuque Area Library Information Consortium.
