Gabriel Kemp
Library Assistant
Hello, my name is Gabriel Kemp, and I am a library assistant in the Access Services department at the Maxwell Library. In addition to library services, I help design signs and other visual media for the library. I also currently oversee overdue materials. I worked in all library branches in Quincy prior to my arrival to the Maxwell Library. Outside of work I like to make music, draw and design, write, and read.

Meme of the Month
This meme features an image of musician Bad Bunny's reaction after winning a Grammy. He holds the bridge of his nose in his hand with his eyes closed, conveying a sense of immense emotion after being announced winner. The meme caption reads "When you spent hours on an annotated bibliography and the professor asks to use your work as an example."
