This is my thirteenth year as the media coordinator, librarian, and system operator at W.A. Bess.  Before W.A. Bess, I was an adult reference librarian for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, Children's Coordinator of the аæèßäapp-Lincoln Regional Library and Children's Room Manager for the York County Public Library in Rock Hill, SC.  I have over twenty years experience as a librarian and I still love books just as much as I did when I was a kid.  I love seeing kids excited about books!

 

I grew up in Salisbury, North Carolina and graduated from West Rowan High School.  I then earned a B.A. in Literature from UNC Asheville and a Masters in Library Science from UNC Greensboro.  I am also certified in school media from East Carolina University.  I enjoy keeping up with the newest trends in literature, so I have been a volunteer juvenile fiction and young adult fiction book reviewer for School Library Journal for twenty years.

 

I have been married for twenty-five years and I have a daughter that's at UNCC and a son at NCSU.  In my free time, I like to cook, cross stitch, and, of course, read books!
