The Tin Man arrived in the library in 2004 and has spent every day since in the library reading and studying. The Tin Man was designed and created by the students in the sheet metal class taught by Dennis Albert, sheet metal instructor in the Trade & Technical Department. In 2004, Peggy O'Kane, then Assistant Dean of Learning Resources, approached Dennis about building a Tin Man for the library. Peggy thought he would be a wonderful surprise for the children who visit the library for storytime. As it turns out, everyone who visits the library comments on the Tin Man and enjoys seeing him.The Tin Man is quiet, polite, and is an avid reader. Though his reading tastes are quite eclectic, he is most often seen reading children's books.
