Introduction

Hey everyone! It is so hard to believe that it's been over a week since Atlanta! I don't know if you all are like me but it takes me a while to get back in the swing of things. Just a quick introduction about myself. I am Alabama born and raised. I grew up near Birmingham in the small community of Oakman. From there, after college, I moved to Birmingham for graduate school and then eventually took a job in Scottsboro, Al at a local newspaper. I served there for three years as a beat reporter, education reporter, and lifestyles editor. I took the job at the library director four years ago in July.  We are a small staff but try our best to make a large impact on our community. Some of my passionate interests include children's programming, STEM/STEAM learning and marketing and media for small public libraries. If being a library director has taught me anything, it is that there are a lot of really good stories just waiting to be told to the world. I am looking forward to this adventure and the roll that our library will play.    - Laura
