Mimi Labrucherie retires<\/strong><\/p>\nMimi Labrucherie was born in France, grew up in Spokane, and earned a bachelor\u2019s in Studio Art from Western Washington University and a master\u2019s in Linguistics from SDSU (just for fun). She worked at USD for over nine years before joining the San Diego Public Library staff 20 years ago as a library aide at the San Carlos branch. She worked her way up to library assistant, working in at least three-quarters of the branches around the library system and also for the Bellingham Public Library, University of Redlands and National City Public Library.<\/p>\n
Labrucherie has had her artist\u2019s book and other artwork in numerous exhibits in several states; one piece is owned by the Athenaeum and one by UCSD Geisel Library, and Special Collections. She has enjoyed interacting with the vast variety of patrons, acquiring a lot of esoteric knowledge along the way. She\u2019ll miss the library but it\u2019s time to discover her next chapter in the four corners of the globe, in her garden and in her art studio. Mimi provided great support to us and great customer service to our patrons. We appreciated her enthusiasm and dedication to the San Carlos Branch Library. She will be missed.<\/p>\n
