Monique Carriveau Storie, Ph.D, is the director of the Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center (MARC) and Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Memorial Library.

The MARC is comprised of a library with a reference section centered on Guam and Micronesia, as well as the manuscripts and Spanish documents collections.

There is also a research section with publications related to Micronesian studies.

Storie began working at the University of Guam in 1995 as a reference librarian and was later promoted to the position of director.

Being in charge of the budget and organization of materials are a few of her responsibilities as the director.

She completed her undergraduate studies in Spanish, but later pursued library sciences because it is a family tradition.

She grew up with constant exposure to libraries, and found it to be an obvious career path.

“It can be a puzzle,” Storie said in reference to the application of library sciences at the MARC and RFK Library.

The MARC has recently created a website to process and catalog the manuscripts via a two year grant awarded in 2013 by The National Archives grant program through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC).

“Our next step will be to scan in documents that can be accessed online,” she said in regard to the website.
