Library Staff Profile: Carlo Caroli
Posted: September 5, 2025
August’s Staff Profile Highlight is Carlo Caroli, our long-time library tech in Kirksville. This “get-to-know” Carlo is more of a farewell as he retires later this month. Congratulations on many wonderful years with ATSU and enjoy your retirement and move back to your home country of Italy!
Position title: Library tech
How long have you worked for the library: 17 years
What made you want to work in libraries?
I have always loved books and being in a school environment.
What do you like most about your job and about working for ATSU?
My greatest joy is to see these young students become future doctors of America. I have enjoyed working and associating with a great creative and team-playing crew at the Kirksville campus
What is a fun job you had before ATSU?
Working with both the U.S. military and U.S. Customs at the U.S. Embassy in Rome, Italy. Working at the maternity ward at Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
What is a fun/unique/exciting tidbit to know about you, or how do you spend your free time?
My greatest weakness is travel. I have traveled extensively from Hawaii to India and everything in between. I am also passionate about Ancient Roman history, especially the period from the first Roman emperor Caesar Augustus to Nero – from around 5 B.C. to around 68 A.D. or basically covering the time period of the Gospels. This is indeed the most interesting time in human history. Other things are that I love, love, love the sea, and I admit to being a details-oriented freak.
