Welcoming New University Librarian - Dianne Keeping - mta.ca news


Welcome to Town Dianne, I hope you have a good experience with Sackville!
May the students be enriched by your efforts and contributions to their academic life... Mount Allison has a long and rich history as an academic institution.

On a personal note, Dr. Keeping—who grew up in Port aux Basques, NFLD—says moving from Calgary to tiny Sackville is a positive change, although her 17-year-old terrier-mix dog is still trying to adapt to the move.
“I’m an animal lover,” she says. “He’s really kind of my world.” Her other interests are eclectic: sci-fi/fantasy literature; yoga and meditation; genealogy and family history...and percussion.
"I recently bought an electronic drum set. I'm not a musician by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have fun trying," she says.  
And the most important question for a new University Librarian?
“I would have to say my favourite book is George Orwell’s Animal Farm. There’s a powerful message in that book that really struck me, and I often come back and look at it. It says a lot about what’s going on in society today.”
