Help us congratulate Bobby Cosgrove on earning his Master of Arts in history from WCU! Bobby graduated as part of the class of 2026. He worked at FHG Light for the last two years. Anyone who has checked out a book from a library display in the last two years has seen his work. Bobby’s displays are known for their intersectionality and include many genres.

One of his most well know displays is the America 250 display he curated this spring. You can check out the books on this display on the second floor of FHG Library in the Quinlisk Commons.

Bobby’s many talents energized our library community. Read his full story (Link in the comments).
