Department: Teen services

Caroline has been with Durham County Library since 2014. She is not a Durham native and has moved around quite a bit. She loves helping teens, especially if they need help finding a new book to read or help with homework. Like most librarians, Caroline loves to read, especially graphic novels, romance, and LGBTQ books. When she is not working, she likes to garden, bake (and eat) cookies, and spend as much time outside as possible.

Pronouns: she/her
