Staff Spotlight: Meet Kaylen Hi there! My name is Kaylen and I am the Library Assistant for the Children’s Department! I graduated from both the University of Montevallo and the University of Alabama. I have over 5 years of experience working in public libraries. My job here at the library is to assist with the children’s programs and to visit the preschools & daycares in the area every month to perform a story time for the kids, and tell them about all the upcoming events at our library. I have so much fun at my job and I love getting to interact with all the families in our community through our library programs! Three Fun Facts about Me: 1.      I have a very chubby doggo named Sammie who likes to eat my cheese puffs when I’m not looking. 2.     I will read any book or watch any movie if it has a dragon in it. Dragons are cool. 3.     AND I am absolutely obsessed with ALL things Disney (come trade pins with me!)

WE NEED YOU! We need your voice. We need your love. We need your involvement. Please... Speak! Give! Participate!
