Being a director is a lot like guiding an orchestra through a song- I get to oversee all the individual parts that make up the operation of the library and bring them together in a way that serves the community of Gretna in a meaningful way.
I love what I do and am proud to have served Gretna since 2008.

What book I would be:
Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

Years of public library service: 16

I support all of the wonderful GPL librarians. I regularly analyze data, coach others, solve problems, and enjoy puns. Every day brings new challenges, and it’s a great day when I get to share what an amazing team we have at GPL.

What book I would be:
All of them because I can’t pick a favorite.
