Suzanne Thorpe is Associate Director for Faculty, Research, and Instructional Services at the Law Library. She has worked at the library since 1987, directing the staff in delivering reference, circulation and interlibrary loan services to the law library’s patrons. A significant portion of her job involves assisting law school faculty members with their research. She also participates in legal research instruction and collection development. The most enjoyable part of her job is being able to help find needed information, (She adds: "It’s tough when I have to admit I can’t find it") and being challenged by the ever increasing amount of information there is to find.

Suzanne loves spending time in Scandinavia, as well as gardening, cooking, reading, and water aerobics. She is currently owned by two sweet kitties (see photos: Sonja (a tortie/tabbie) and Mia (black & white)), and has also been adopted by a neighbor cat named Schmitty (smoke colored and looking lion-esque above). "He waits for me on my doorstep every day, even in the rain." Suzanne's personal motto is: "Be dependable and do a great job."
