Mindy Barrett becomes new Branch Supervisor at MGL Library

 

We are happy to announce that Mindy Barrett will be taking up the reigns of service at the Myrtle Glanton Lord branch at Patterson Park Community Center beginning January 14, 2019. 

Mindy has been with RCLS for nine years, working at both Linebaugh and Smyrna branches. She has served as Youth Services Specialist at Linebaugh since 2014, where she led the Youth Services department with exemplary leadership and service. Mindy earned her Masters in Education and Library Science from MTSU and worked for Rutherford County Schools prior to joining RCLS. 

Linebaugh will be losing a valuable member of the team, but we are excited MGL will benefit from Mindy's experience, education, enthusiasm, programming abilities and patron-driven service.

Make sure to stop by MGL in January and make Mindy welcome.
