She is an outstanding representative of the OSU Library and we are proud of her efforts on our behalf. The Edna Mae Phelps Award was established to commend individuals for service above and beyond to the OSU Library. Jennifer Paustenbaugh certainly deserves recognition for her contributions. Mrs. Phelps worked closely with Jennifer, and we know that she would be pleased for her to receive this award."
