The Staff

2007 Excellence Award!


Janet

became the library director in January 2006. She finished her Master's of Library and Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh in August of 2008. She has been involved with libraries her entire life and even managed a "special library" while employed at EDS. Janet is always open to suggestions on just about anything that will make Scott Township Public Library the best library you have ever walked into!

Gina

is busy working full time for the Baldwin Library. (Some of you may recall that Gina worked full time for part of 2005.) Gina fits us into her busy schedule on Saturdays. She can be found at the Circulation Desk checking items in and out and answering all those questions you have! Gina like many members of our team, has her Masters of Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh.

Pat

is a long time resident of Scott Township. She works the Circulation Desk as a librarian assistant. Pat will gladly help you learn to use The Catalog, locate items in the library, or place requests to have items delivered here for you to pick-up.

Katie

works at our library and at AC Free (AKA the Andrew Carnegie Free Library in Carnegie PA.) So, if you think you have seen her some where before - you just might have! You will meet her at the Circulation Desk. Having trouble finding something? Ask Katie - she'll find it! Need help on the computer? Katie is a go-to person for that also!

Kathleen

is an active member of the Friends of the Library and now is also a weekend employee for the library. She works the Circulation Desk on Saturdays. Kathleen keeps the various displays around the library fresh and full of ideas and items for you to borrow. She also helps to maintain our website. She is the one who has brought the videos segments to our site. If you want some input on Romance literature - ask her! Kathleen is also active in other community groups, such as the Sierra Club. Kathleen also shows horses around the east coast.

Kim

works as an assistant librarian at the Circulation Desk. Kim also helps with behind the scene work, such as preparing the bills. Kim is also VERY creative. If you need ideas on decorating, sewing, beading, quilting, painting, fish ponds, and more, seek Kim out. And, if you love the paint job that the library is slowly getting, thank Kim! She helped!!

Nancy

is a full time member of the staff and has her MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh School of Library and Information Science. Nancy is in charge of our Circulation Desk. If you need a suggestion regarding a movie or book - Nancy will have it! Nancy's primary job is to keep the Circulation desk going (and she makes it look simple!). She schedules us all to cover the desk, keeps the items you want moving, and in general does her best to make your library experience a great one!

Shannon

is the hostess for our toddler programs: 2nd & 4th Saturdays of every month @ 10am. Shannon also coordinates programs for the teens. Along with most of the other staff, she also works the Circulation Desk. Additionally, Shannon finished in December 2009 her Master of Library and Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh.

Sherry

is Head of Youth Services. Sherry joined our merry band in February 2006. She has her MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh. Sherry loves to get down on the floor with the kids and she comes up with some great craft projects. (Samples of them are on display around the library.) Listen for the toot of the train whistle, and Story Time is ready to begin! (And check out her socks while you are at it.) Miss Sherry also is responsible for the Summer Reading Club. She plans all the programs and crafts. Then she brings it all together for a fun-filled event.

Return to the top.

Sue

is a library assistant and works directly with all of the volunteers at the library. If you are interested in volunteering in the library please contact Sue. She will work with you to determine what activities you can do to help keep the library running smoothly. Sue also covers the Circulation Desk and can help you request that special book you want to read or DVD you want to see! When Sue is not doing all of this, she also keeps the materials we order moving through the "pipe line": reviews invoices to make sure we got what we ordered; coordinates the placement of all labels on all the items; prepares them for cataloging; and releases them to you after everything has been done. She is another staff member who makes her job look easy!
