Library employee donates Disney collection to University
Thanks to the generosity of Jerome Library staff member Matthew Hungling, the Curriculum Resource Center now boasts more than
700 Disney items.
Hungling recently donated a large part of his collection, including children’s books, videocassettes, music scores and pop-up
books. Gathered over nearly 25 years, the collection was begun during his first visit to Walt Disney World in 1982.
In making the donation to the library, Hungling said it was his desire that the collection should circulate and be enjoyed
by all. Library users can access the materials through the University Libraries catalog at
http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/. Most of the materials in the collection circulate for a three-week period.
A 1974 BGSU alumnus with a bachelor of education degree and a major in library and educational media, Hungling has worked
at Jerome Library since 1973 when he was a student employee there. He recently celebrated his 30th year as a permanent employee
in the circulation department.
