Mark Harasymiw
Title: Research Librarian
Library: Nixon Peabody LLP
Location: Rochester, NY
Five Questions:
1. Favorite kind of bread? Do bagels count? If so, everything bagels!
2. Favorite show? The “Jeeves and Wooster” series with Hugh Laurie & Stephen Fry. Based on P.G. Wodehouse’s characters. My wife & I watch it at least once a year and enjoy the return to the 1930’s England & New York City. Bertie Wooster is menaced by domineering aunts and plagued by other bullies. Then Jeeves steps in and everything is put back in the right order.
3. Last photo I took with my phone? A picture of my boys (2 & 4) on a Lake Ontario beach with 5 cousins, all lined up in a row by age.
4. How long did it take you to become a librarian? It took me just about a year of school at University at Buffalo, going full-time once I knew that’s what I wanted to do.
5. Favorite thing about your job? The varied nature. One moment I might be walking a book back to the public library, the next might be some heavy-duty case law research. I get to have working relationships with senior partners as well as the youngest associates.
