Kitty Tynan, Assistant Director for Public Services, retired from that position in July 2011.

Kitty had deep roots at the Catholic University of America, dating back to the late 70′s. Tynan worked at Mullen library full time while attending graduate school. She received her master’s in library science from CUA in 1980. After graduation she worked at American University and eventually moved to the New England area before coming back to Washington and CUA.

Kitty’s term at CUA Libraries was marked with a commitment to professional growth and she encouraged library staff to attend professional conferences, workshops and explore online learning possibilities .  Kitty strongly supported the  Library staff and credited staff support in helping her with the best possible delivery of public services.  She has also been vital to positive changes seen in the University Libraries as well as the WRLC.

Kitty is moving  to to Albuquerque, N.M  to spend more time with her family  It’s been a pleasure working with her and she will be missed.  She promises to keep in touch when she’s not soaking up the sun or exploring the culinary and cultural delights of the American Southwest. Congratulations Kitty on a successful career and enjoy your retirement!
