Caroline
Department: Maker + STEAM services
Caroline has loved libraries since before she could read, and she loves incorporating science and arts into accessible and creative programs. She loves reading most genres, especially middle grade and young adult, fiction with magic, novels in verse, humanities nonfiction, and graphic novels. She graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology and Master of Library and Information Science from UNCG. When not at the library, Caroline loves spending time with her kids (who love to read, too!) and her favorite people, reading, hiking, exploring, music, and our NC mountains.
