Mimi Labrucherie retires
Library Assistant, Mimi Labrucherie, retired September 5, 2017.
Mimi was born in France and grew up in Spokane, Washington. She has a BA in Studio Art from Western Washington University and an MA in Linguistics from SDSU (just for fun). She came to California in the late 1980s and worked at USD for 9 ½ years before coming to the City of San Diego where she has worked for the last 20 years. Mimi started out as a Library Aide at the San Carlos Branch and worked her way up to Library Assistant, working in at least ¾ of the branches around the library system. She has also worked for the Bellingham Public Library, University of Redlands and National City Public Library, but the latter weren’t as long of tenures as Bellingham and USD.
Mimi has had her artist’s book and other artwork in numerous exhibits in several states; one piece is owned by the Athenaeum and one by UCSD, Geisel Library, Special Collections. She has enjoyed interacting with the vast variety of patrons, acquiring a lot of esoteric knowledge along the way. She’ll miss the library but it’s time to…Discover her next chapter…in the four corners of the globe, in her garden and in her art studio.
Mimi provided great support to us and great customer service to our patrons. We appreciate her enthusiasm and dedication to the San Carlos Branch Library. She will be missed.
Thank you,
David Ege
