Post Your Angie Milner Poems Here! Emily Stevens' Poem

By: Kaitlyn Nibbelin Aunt Ange Milner

Young Billy was a troublesome youth Always round my bookshelves sneakin’ He’d sidle up and flirt all day With ladies who were thinkin’

One day I chose to turn him out Of my nice quiet library “If people you loved more than books,” said he “This decision would be contrary.”

I told him that was not the case, my patience to the brim I just loved the students who studied more than I loved him

“If you would do your work,” said I, “Then I would let you stay And when you’re smart, The ladies may just bother you all day.”

By: Christina Parlette A pioneer in my field, oh where do I start? To organize all the books scattered across a campus is no small order To be the first to enforce the rules of an established library I may seem mean and forceful, I may seem like I don’t have the time But what they don’t see is that I truly care. I understand the student’s needs and want to show them how much they mean. My entire goal is to help them and they will be my inspiration. My passion and willingness to listen will always be my greatest quality. Oh where do I start? With a passion for reading and helping others.

By: Rustin Fakheri Dear Angeline, the children thank you For all the work you’ve done They owe to you Their knowledge and skill The one who cared for them.

Their veritable aunt Home schooled from birth The most advanced Yet among the least advantaged

From the depths of the lab She rose to the keeper Of volumes of education In book form

 * Angeline Milner**

No other woman, unless it was Angeline Vernon Milner Did more for people in this town than I. And all the troubled, scared, and lost students Flocked to me for advise and wisdom. I was good old amiable, Angeline Milner. I was smart, happy, and hardworking, Blest with inviting minds and thoughts, my students listened, All serving, helping the entire world My students came to me at night, Seeking help with their problems. They criticized me, they praised me, My children remember me, I died a symbol.

Known as Ange, Aunt Ange, or simply the librarian I walked the floors of the ISNU libraries Reminding – no, scolding – students to turn in their books on time. Nevertheless I loved my students Even if there was a constant “shhh” coming from my mouth.
 * Angeline Milner**

In 1889 I became ISNU’s first librarian, An occupation that I loved dearly for nearly 40 years, Which I will be remembered by for the rest of the university’s existence, And is an honor that I am proud to be given.

My days at ISNU will forever be cherished in my soul, And all I can hope is that future students will love Milner library as much as I once did.
