Barger Recounts 45-Year Career at UA Little Rock Bookstore No Comments
Byron Barger, assistant manager at the UA Little Rock Bookstore, has just achieved something that few in the workforce do nowadays, having worked and retired from the same place for his entire working career.
“I enjoyed working at the university all these years,” Barger said. “When we became Barnes & Noble, we were still part of the university family.
