Lugene L. Schemper is an ordained minister in the Christian Reformed Church. He became a theological librarian after eighteen years of service as a pastor of churches in New York State and Chicago. One of his current areas of interest is the history of the printed Bible and Bible translation.

"The hundreds of thousands of books and articles in the Hekman Library contain a record of the theological wisdom of the past. As librarian, my task is to support what is going on in the classrooms at Calvin Theological Seminary by providing convenient and knowledgeable access to that record. I enjoy helping students, faculty, and our many guest users with their research in the library and pointing them to the important literature in their area of study. The library and research needs of pastors and staff serving congregations are a priority here at Hekman Library."

Lugene is married to Carla, and they have three adult daughters and one adult son. He enjoys biking, traveling,and reading, and has a love-hate relationship with home improvement projects.
