LBCC Library to Host Rosemary Bennett Book Signing

May 17, 2010
Contact: Rosemary Bennett, bennetr@linnbenton.edu

Retired LBCC counselor Rosemary Bennett will hold a book signing for her new book titled The History of Linn-Benton Community College on Wednesday, May 26 at 3 p.m. at the LBCC Library, 6500 Pacific Blvd. SW, Albany.

Bennett began her career at LBCC in 1971, just fours years after the college opened, serving as secretary to the director of the Learning Resource Center. In 1975, she moved to the counseling center where she worked as an instructional assistant and later as a counselor for 32 years.

In the fall of 2007, LBCC celebrated its fortieth anniversary, having served some 600,000 students. Bennett tells the story of how early supporters of the college, including local retired realtor Russell Tripp, met the challenge of starting the institution, including the opposition they faced and the support they found in unusual places.

Bennett’s book will be available for purchase at the book signing and through the LBCC Foundation. The book also is available for purchase online at Xlibris, Amazon, Borders, and Barnes and Noble, or through the LBCC Bookstore.
