Lead Summary

By
Chatfield College-
Emilia Knisley, a 2013 graduate of Chatfield College, has joined the staff as the Manager of Library Services. The position entails assisting students with resources, overseeing the Library & Learning Centers at both campuses and coordinating support services such as tutoring and mentoring.
As a College Credit Plus (CCP) student from Lynchburg-Clay High School, Knisley graduated from both high school and college weeks apart in 2013. Following her time at Chatfield, she went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice with a minor in political science from Wilmington College in 2017. Knisley is currently pursuing a master’s degree in public administration with an emphasis in nonprofit management at Ohio University and will graduate in August.
“I love working in the library — especially being able to connect people with the information and resources available to them,” Knisley said. “I am excited to get back into an academic library like Chatfield’s. It will be interesting to be on the other side of the circulation desk.”
Knisley brings a wealth and breadth of library experience and community engagement through her work in the Blanchester Public Library, the Watson Library at Wilmington College, as an intern with the Clinton County Health District and as a member of community theater in Wilmington.
