Contra Costa College Library

Retirement of Ellen Geringer, Library Coordinator/Media Librarian.

Ellen was hired on March 1, 1989 as CCC’s Media Librarian.  In 2003, she became the Library Coordinator. During her tenure she served on numerous campus & district committees, chaired the College Instruction Committee (6 long years), was the Professional Development Coordinator (10+ years), served on the advisory boards for Disabled Student Programs & Services, DVC’s Library Technology program, and CCC’s Friends of the Library. She is also the (unofficial) college historian.  She and her husband, Chris Tarp were honored as Benefactors of the Year by the college foundation in 2011. Her immediate retirement plans include sleep, reading, and traveling.  She hopes to continue indexing the student newspaper (she has completed the first 26 years), but will probably disappear for a while into Ancestry.Com.
