Meet our Night Librarian




Meet our night librarian Mrs. Kareen Bourne. We see her perhaps only once per week just before we depart our 2-10 shift. Kareen along with her able team of staff and students has been holding the forte, ensuring that everthing is running smoothly from Monday to Friday, while we are all asleep in bed. Who is the couragous young librarian who boldly goes where few have gone before?

Kareen worked at the Northern Caribbean University as Technical Services and Audio Visual Librarian in August 2004 and graduated from the MLIS programme in November 2004. She left NCU and began working with the International University of the Caribbean, South Middlesex Region as Centre Administrator/Deputy Librarian in October 2005. She managed the business operations of the Region as well as oversight for the library at that location. In September 2006, she was promoted to Director, Library and Media Services and began working from IUC’s head office in Kingston. After a year at the Head office her post was further upgraded to Senior Director Library and Media Services. While at IUC she received two plaques from IUC for outstanding services rendered.

Kareen has been married for nearly fifteen years and has three children.
