I
love books! I have been a librarian at Chickasaw for 20 years. I love
my job. I received my undergraduate and my Master's Degree from
University of Memphis. I have two children. Thank you for all the help
and encouragement that you give your children in teaching the love of
reading.
We are excited about the 2020/2021 year!
