Heather Alphonso
Clerk
[email protected] | 734-764-2347
Background
I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in History of Art. In 2023, after raising my children and helping run our family business, I began working at the Clements Library. My previous volunteer experience included being a docent for K-12 students at the University of Michigan Museum of Art which reinforced my interest in making museums and libraries accessible to all.
Responsibilities
As a library clerk at the Clements, I greet visitors, answer phones and maintain the logs of all the people who go in and out of the building as well as process new researchers. I work with the business manager and the administration team to support the daily functioning of the library. I also get to work with materials by accessioning new acquisitions for the Books Division.
