Mary Ann Hainen was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She currently works in the Catalog Department.
Mary originally taught classes in Springfield, where she worked in two small country schools, giving her an appreciative perspective on rural life and families.
Before working at MU Libraries, Mary worked at the Missouri Book Store (which was housed in the Student Success Center) and would ask Ellis Library Staff about working conditions. Many encouraged her to pursue employment and a few would provide a heads up on open positions. She took her first job with Robin Kespohl and said “I can’t begin to count the number of friends, supervisors, and coworkers who have brought happiness, support, blessings, and friendship to my life over the years—I have some very precious memories.” She has worked at MU Libraries for 22 years.
She earned a B.A. in Education and was certified as an Elementary School Media Specialist. She also earned 15 graduate hours in Elementary Guidance and Counseling.
She has 2 cats: Molly and Luke
Her lesiure time pursuits include dancing (especially country), bowling, reading, shopping, cooking, sports watching (but not golf, soccer, or hockey). She commented that she grew up in a male-dominated household, which is why she’s such an avid sports fan.
Her hobbies include “collecting pink Depression glass, whiskey glasses from places I’ve visited (or begged others who’ve visited great places to bring back a glass for me); and antique pins; Shabby Chic decorating (creative decorating on a budget).”
The coolest place she’s ever visited has been Hawaii.
In a movie of her life, she picked Susan Sarandon as the actress to portray her.
