Being offered a role at Dartmouth for the second time was a special opportunity, Horrell said. “All those years I was away, I was one of those people that would say, wherever I was, ‘Well, you know, at Dartmouth….’ After a while, people got really tired of hearing that, and eventually I shut up,” Horrell said about his time working at other college libraries. “There’s something really special about this RUONI WANG/THE DARTMOUTH STAFF
