The Chicago School Library is pleased to welcome a new librarian to the team:  Elaine Mitra, Head of Access Services!

Based at the Chicago campus, she provides services to the entire Chicago School community, including managing the assessment library, loans, reserves or other material issues and needs.  She loves learning and helping people which is part of what spurred her to make the career change from working in advertising to librarianship. She graduated from The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in December 2023 with her MSLIS. Before joining the library team at The Chicago School, she  worked at DePaul University’s Loop Library. She grew up in Metro Detroit and then lived in Chicago since 2010 when she moved to Chicago for college at Loyola University. 

Outside the library she loves to read, watch movies, see live theater, and travel. Her door is open if you have any questions regarding library materials and things or want to chat!
