WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King today welcomed Lucy Jakub of Blue Hill to Washington, D.C. where she will serve as a Library of Congress Junior Fellow, working in the Library’s Conservation Division. Both Senators Collins and King met with Lucy, a student at Columbia University in New York, and congratulated her on her fellowship.

 

“Lucy is an impressive young woman who will serve as a wonderful representative for the state of Maine at the Library of Congress,” Senators Collins and King said in a joint statement. “By increasing access to America's cultural heritage and helping preserve millions of international collections, Library of Congress Junior Fellows like Lucy play an essential role at our nation's oldest federal cultural institution.
