Michael (Mike) Sgier, a native of Denver, Col., joined Falvey’s Access Services team at the beginning of January 2017. He previously worked at the University of the Arts Libraries.

As an Access Services Specialist, he reports to Luisa Cywinski, Director of Access Services. He is the service desk coordinator and will assist with library processing. Cywinski says, “He has several years of experience in library services and with various types of access services processing including resource sharing, stacks maintenance and course reserves.”

Sgier has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in printmaking from Creighton University, Omaha, Neb. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Studies from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Minneapolis, Minn. Sgier is a printmaker and cartoonist based in West Philadelphia. He is an “avid reader and coffee drinker, bicyclist (when the weather agrees), and [is] always looking to discover a new art form, whether it’s a movie, book, or another graphic form.”

When asked why he made the transition to the east coast, Sgier said after finishing graduate school, “finding full-time work was proving difficult. A friend of mine from New Jersey suggested I look at Philadelphia, and it just so happened that a job was available at the University of the Arts Library. Plus, I was interested in east coast cities, having spent most of my time in mid-west locales.”

And, just to help you, he pronounces his surname “SKEER.”
