No, bagels don’t really fix

everything. However, I believe

they do help. You are probably

aware that the WSC Library now

hosts a new Einstein Bagels

franchise in Jitters. Perhaps you

have visited it. There are certain-

ly a growing group of regular

customers. To say Einstein’s has

been a commercial success would

be an extreme understatement.

But, you say, bagels won’t

improve student test scores,

won’t result in better research

papers, and don’t contribute to

creating a suitably serious

scholarly environment. How do

bagels fit into the library’s

mission? I would argue that the

fit is excellent.

A good academic library strives

to assist students in their learning

process, but providing research

assistance and a quiet place to

study isn’t enough. A good

library also needs to help

build and engage a campus

community, and few things help

build community more than

eating and learning together.

Conversation over food breaks

down barriers and encourages us

to exchange ideas. Community

membership helps enhance a

feeling of belonging, increases

confidence and engagement, and

contributes to (you’ve heard this

word before) retention.

Retention and a sense of

community isn’t just a student

issue. Faculty and staff retention

is also important, and sometimes

overlooked. Isolation can be an

issue for faculty and staff just as it

is for students. So as winter

approaches and the weather gets

worse, resist the urge to hide out

in the shelter of your office.

Come to the library, visit with

students and colleagues, learn a

little more about the world, and

yes, have a bagel.

Conn Library Welcomes Hayley Zamzow

Hello, my name is Hayley Zamzow. I am the new night Library

Technician here at Conn Library. I’ve had the pleasure of working

here since July of 2019. With a Library Science major and English minor

from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, this job has been the perfect

opportunity for me to learn more about the inner workings of a wonderful

(and beautiful, I might add) library. Outside of the library, I am a

voracious reader with a black belt in Taekwondo who enjoys coffee,

nature and family time.

Archival Spotlight The Neihardt Club

While the name and preeminence of John G. Neihardt

are certainly well-known on campus, the existence of

the John G. Neihardt Club has largely been forgotten.

The club first met on July 30, 1920. It was “founded in

honor of John G. Neihardt, poet-laureate of Nebraska

and an Alumnus of [Wayne State Teachers College],

and has as its purpose the study of the man and his

works.” (1927 Spizzerinktum). Membership was not

limited to the Wayne State community; it extended

throughout the United States and even into Europe.

Most of the club’s records are lost; however, we do

know some activities of the club from other sources

including the annual “Neihardt Edition” of The Gold-

enrod. These issues that ran from 1920 through 1933

printed excerpts from his poetry and featured stories

about John G. Neihardt and the Club.

The Club spearheaded campaigns to erect two monu-

ments. In 1923 a monument was erected on the Grand

River in South Dakota. It was a memorial to Hugh

Glass, who, 100 years earlier, was left to die at that

spot by his companions, but survived. His story is told

in Neihardt’s poem, “The Song of Hugh Glass.”

The second monument can be found in Bressler Park

in Wayne. Dedicated in 1925, the bronze plaques on

the monument recognize the achievements of the poet

and include a quote from his “The Poet’s Town.”

The Club seems to have ceased to exist about 1930 as it

is not mentioned after that year.
