“For nearly two years Sally has been coming in once a week to work on cataloging vertical files,” Sara Dockery, library and archives supervisor, said.

“Most people may not know Sally, because she works quietly in my office every Wednesday, but her work is having an enormous impact on the availability of information to NAWCC members, a key part of the library’s mission. In the time she’s been working here, she has cataloged almost 700 files.

“Sally has taken it upon herself to learn a tremendous amount about horology, keeping careful notes about each type of clock and watch she encounters in her work,” Dockery added.

“Thanks to the work that she is doing, members are able to easily find library resources, and a project that has been ongoing for well over the five years I’ve been here is nearing completion.”
