Eliminating late fines for patrons is not something new in the library world. My first time hearing about it was after taking my freshman director’s position in 2011. At the time, I was cynical about going fine free. I remember saying to a colleague, “That is not going to last.”
ON AND OFF THE SHELVES: Everything is going to be just fine (without fines).

I’m a nonprofit executive with an interest in community relations. I am continually looking for ways to improve communication among employees and stakeholders. A natural leader who is willing to change elevations to move the mission along, I am also comfortable letting my staff take the lead. In my ten years of library administration, I have shown a knack for project management, internal structure, and finances. I also have a deep understanding of how technology can improve organizations, as well as the lives of the people they serve. I am always researching new ways to encourage employees to meet, communicate, and come to decisions. I enjoy working with the media and the public, and always looking for new avenues and channels of communication. I never shy away from a moment to promote the organization for which I work.
