I've been the director of the Abbeville County Library System since 2002. I love my job and library system, especially our wonderful staff!

When I'm not at work, I'm at home reading or out at a restaurant, since I love to eat but hate to cook. I'm originally from NJ, but now Abbeville is truly home.

I really enjoy working at the Abbeville County Library. It feels like the perfect job for me.

When I'm off work, I enjoy practicing yoga, making art, and being in the great outdoors, camping and hiking.

I have been working at the library since July 2005 and absolutely love my job. I feel like a superhero when I am able to help others get exactly what they need.

When I take off my superhero cape, I can be found caring for my little boy and reading, reading, reading!

I look forward to coming to work at the library each day. My co-workers/friends are very pleasant, as are our patrons.

When I'm not at work, I'm busy attending events involving my 11 grandchildren.

I am so excited to join the Abbeville County Library System team, and I look forward to assisting patrons at the Donalds-Agnew branch. There's nothing quite like finding a gem of a book and diving in!

When I am not at the library, I am busy keeping up with my two boys, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, traveling, and reading a good book, of course!

I've worked at the Abbeville County Library (with a break in there) since 2006.

When I'm not at the library I'm reading or...
watching Japanese horror films or...
traveling the world or...
eating gourmet food!

As one of the newer members of the team, I am excited to get to know all of my co-workers and our wonderful patrons!

When I'm not at work, you can find me with a good book or my knitting. I also love to travel, especially to the mountains!

I have been at the Agnew Branch since October 2007. I enjoy reading and love helping patrons find new authors and books to read.

When not at work, I spend most of my time with my boys! :)

I've been working at the Calhoun Falls Library since 2005. I really enjoy working with our patrons and helping them find just what they're looking for!

I am very happy to be a staff member with the Abbeville County Library System. I am a native of Abbeville, but lived in Beaufort for about 25 years where I taught art in several of the elementary schools and later worked for Beaufort County EMS. Most recently, I have worked for Abbeviile County EMS.

When I'm not at work, I enjoy running, cycling, and reading.
