Part two of our November 2011 Spotlight award winners is none other than MU Libraries’ own Head of Access Services, June LaFollette DeWeese!
Born in Trenton, MO, June is a lifelong Tiger. She came here for her undergraduate degree in Political Science and subsequent MLS. She began working for MU Libraries as a student employee and has been here since–for total of 42 years of service!
In her free time, June enjoys reading and attending book clubs, going to concerts, and playing with her two dogs: a chocolate lab and a white lab basset hound mix.
The coolest place June has ever visited is Liberia. If a movie were to be made about June, it would star Helen Mirren, and the Elvis cover “You Never Walk Alone” would be included in the soundtrack. Helen Mirren would also at some point be sporting those coveted gold walking shoes June acquired during a trip to Las Vegas in the 1980s.
Out of any fictional or real person to share a drink with, June would choose Ice tea with her mother.
