Welcome Ellen - Our New Librarian

The library is very excited to announce the addition of Ellen Carey. Ellen has a long and varied work history shaped by a passion for both learning and teaching new things. She has worked as a carpenter, fundraiser, secretary, leadership trainer, and rock climbing instructor, and has studied dance, French, poetry, Buddhism, and art, among many other things.

Ellen received her master’s in library and information science from Simmons College in 2004, having completed her bachelors’ degree at Mount Holyoke College through a program designed for adult women returning to college. She went on to work at Mount Holyoke as a reference librarian and coordinator of a program to recruit undergraduates from underrepresented groups into the field of librarianship.

Before coming to Moorpark College, Ellen served as Library Co-Coordinator at Greenfield Community College in Massachusetts for five years. There she supervised Public Services, spearheaded the library’s outreach efforts, and developed information literacy instruction programming. In her free time, Ellen enjoys hiking, camping, kayaking, meditation, and making art. Having just moved to California from Massachusetts, she is delighted to bring her love of the outdoors to a more hospitable climate, and her passion for teaching and learning to the Moorpark College community.

Please stop by to welcome her. Ellen can be reached at x1627 or email: ecarey@vcccd.edu.
