Welcome New Staff
You may have noticed some new faces around the library. Katie Huntley joined us as a Circulation Assistant this summer.
While she's relatively new to McFarland, she grew up about an hour west of town. Katie previously worked in digital project management and was known as a "nerd herder." When she's not reading a book about cars/trucks/tractors to her son, she's usually reading nonfiction or historical fiction. |
|
|
Katie says she really loves it here and it's been great for her family after relocating from Waukesha. They brought along two rescue kitties and one golden retriever named Loki and couldn't be happier.
