Vivian Rosenberg oral history

Vivian Rosenberg, a Northeastern University librarian, was born in Boston, Massachusetts. She lived in Brookline, Massachusetts until she married and moved to Brighton. As one of the few female students in her class, she graduated from Northeastern University in 1949. As a student, she worked at the Northeastern University library at the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) and, after graduating, she earned her Master's Degree in Education from Boston University. She worked as a substitute teacher in the Boston Public School system. She later accepted a library position offered to her by Myra White, the Northeastern University librarian. She began working at NU library in February 1952, where she received numerous commendations until her retirement in December 1991. Throughout her time at Northeastern she was instrumental in moving the library twice; once, from YMCA library to Dodge Hall and, the second time, from Dodge Hall to Snell Library.
