Finances

On February 8th, I met with Mr. Bob Hughes who is the man in charge of the library's finances and security. Bob considered himself to be a "math geek" who thought he'd become a teacher while he was in high school. Bob has a teaching certificate and used to teach math classes. Although Bob has only been working here for about 9 months, he seems to have corrected some of the library's previous financial mistakes. He likes his job alot and says that he wouldn't be suprised if he was still working here 5 years from now. Like others, Bob says that this job is "laid-back" and that his co-workers are very nice. He stays interested in his work because everything is always new to him. I believe Bob's job is the most important job because he manages the library's budget. He controls and knows how much money goes to which department. He is the essential key to how the library pays for their rare books and online resources.
