Her efforts on behalf of the library have resulted in numerous grants for
digitization and other essential library needs, and the founding of the Friends
of the Swedenborg Library (FOSL), which continues to support library
programs and uses.
Carroll has also been active in regional librarianship, making presentations
and conducting workshops for professional and academic organizations. She
served for 10 years as President and in other offices of the Tri-State College
Library Cooperative (TCLC), and has remained actively involved in that local
consortium.
Carroll continues to be a strong advocate for informational literacy and
teaching library research, with the goal of making the Swedenborg Library
the hub of Bryn Athyn College academic life. She has been steadfast in her
commitment to developing the Swedenborg Library into a full-fledged college
library with strong ties to the wider community, and a center of research and
scholarship for the New Church worldwide.
We will not be saying Au revoir to Carroll, but Félicitations et bonne chance
