    Excellent, having a local person in this position means she is aware of the needs of the community and thus can provide and maintain a high level of programs and services to residents in North Escambia.
    Although many have gone to electronic readers there is something very special about the printed words on real paper.
    Best Wishes and Thank You for coming home to serve.
