Meet Carrie Kline, Circulation Coordinator

By
The University Library is very happy to welcome Carrie Kline to our staff as the new Circulation Coordinator. Carrie started working in the Library on July 9, 2018.
Prior to joining UWSP, Carrie worked at the Brown County Public Library in Green Bay, WI. She holds a B.A. in English from St. Norbert College in De Pere, WI. 

 Here are a few more fun things about Carrie:


Hometown: Casco, WI

What is your favorite movie (or one of them, or something recent): I have a soft spot for westerns. One of my favorites is My Darling Clementine.

What is your favorite book: The Once and Future King.

What is on your bucket list: Listing “Surly Hermit” as an occupation on my tax forms.

Do you have any hobbies: Time permitting, I inhale as many comic books as possible and try my hand at cooking and baking.  

What are your first impressions of working here, and what might you look forward to while working here: My first impression is that I’ve joined a team of tight-knit and generally joyful people intent on providing meaningful service and access to as many people as we can. I’ve felt welcomed and supported from the very first day. I look forward to assembling and getting to know my student workers, and to helping and supporting them as we work to be the best team possible (and have a little fun along the way).

Do you have any pets: At the moment, unfortunately not. In relocating to the area, I needed to gift my cat to my parents. She loves them. The feeling is not entirely mutual.

You can reach Carrie at 715-346-4214 or cakline@uwsp.edu

One Islam, M any Muslim W orlds : S pirituality, I dentity, and R esistance A cross Islamic L ands By Raymond William Baker Call Number:  BP 161.3 B344 2015 Review from the journal Foreign Affairs Publisher's Description:   By all measures, the late twentieth century was a time of dramatic decline for the Islamic world, the Ummah , particularly its Arab heartland. Sober Muslim voices regularly describe their current state as the worst in the 1,400-year history of Islam. Yet, precisely at this time of unprecedented material vulnerability, Islam has emerged as a civilizational force strong enough to challenge the imposition of Western, particularly American, homogenizing power on Muslim peoples. This is the central paradox of Islam today: at a time of such unprecedented weakness in one sense, how has the Islamic Awakening, a broad and diverse movement of contemporary Islamic renewal, emerged as such a resilient and powerful transnational force and what implicat
