ISU librarian retiring after 29 years of service

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Idaho State University said goodbye to a special employee on Wednesday.

Cathy Gray, a librarian for the Idaho Falls campus, is retiring after 29 years.

Gray has two Master's degrees, including one in Library Science. She's used them to help ISU students, faculty, and staff research a multitude of topics.

Helping students research has been Gray's favorite part of the job.

"That's the favorite part, is working with the students, helping them find information, making them think about what kind of sources they're getting. I also get to teach a class about doing research and finding sources and deciding whether they're credible or not."

Gray plans on keeping busy in retirement by helping serve meals to area homeless and providing retirees with free tax assistance.
