A bibliophile for most of her life, Mrs. Patty is glad to call Wakulla County Public Library her new home away from home. As an English teacher for a handful of years in Suffolk, Virginia, she is excited to put her classroom skills to good use in encouraging a love of reading to the children of the WCPL community. Her accomplishments include a BA in English, becoming a published author in 2016, and being a mom of two. She and her family moved to Tallahassee from Massachusetts in August of 2022, where she worked for a small-town library in Sturbridge.
