Longtime ANA volunteer Akio Lis has been appointed manager of the Association's Dwight N. Manley Library.

An ANA member since 1992, Lis has attended Summer Seminar since 1994. It was there that he was introduced to the Edward C. Rochette Money Museum and the Library, which kickstarted his passion for numismatic literature and history.

Lis has taken numerous courses on world coinage, and he enjoys researching and writing about the historical and cultural significance of coins. In addition to receiving several YN writing awards, these efforts resulted in his being named the Young Numismatist of the Year in 1998 and landed him an internship with the Library in 2003. After relocating to Colorado Springs in 2005, Lis began to volunteer regularly at the Library and work with YNs on their fundraising auctions during Summer Seminar. Over the past 16 years, he has worked with every former library manager, including Nancy Green and David Sklow, all of whom have contributed to his extensive knowledge of the library's collection.

I will work to increase accessibility of the holdings of the Dwight N. Manley Library and continue in the long tradition of growth to this necessary numismatic asset, Lis says.
