Laura started working for the Marshall County Memorial Library in 2014 after moving to Tennessee from South Florida. Prior to moving here, Laura worked for the Palm Beach County Library System for 13 1/2 years.
Her path to the library was by no means direct.

Her goal is to spread her love of libraries to others through great customer service and innovative programming for adults. She has started programs in adult coloring and upcyled book crafts, and hosts a weekly crochet club.
If you have any programming ideas, Laura would love to hear them.
