Himmmelfarb Welcomes New Staff

Janna Mattson

"I recently moved to the Washington D.C. area from New York City with my husband and daughter, who celebrated her first birthday in November 2004. Before I completed my MLS in May 2004 from The Graduate School of Library and Information Sciences at Queen's College in New York City, I worked at New York University Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Library and the American Museum of Natural History Library."

Tangelyn “Tangy” James

“Hello, my name is Tangelyn James, but I would rather be called Tangy. I have been working here only about two months. While I am at work, I do a number of things such as making copies, answering the telephone, handing out pay checks and distributing the mail. So it is safe to say that I try to keep busy. If you ask me if I like my job I will say no, I love my job. Everyone is very nice and when I first came, all welcomed me with opened arms.

When I am not at work, I like to do a number of things; most importantly I enjoy spending time with my family. When I’m not with my family, I am out with friends. When I and my friends are together, we like to sit back and chill. If we are in the mood to do something we will stop by the mall and look at the new things. My other free time is spent talking about and looking at cars with my brother and my father. (it’s kind of a family thing that my dad got me into when I was younger).”

Miss James eagerly accepted our offer and began her employment here in the Administrative Office on October 11, 2004. Her quiet, polite manner is quite refreshing. Tangy extends herself to assist each and everyone of us. Let us wish her a hearty and healthy future here at the Himmelfarb Library.
