Profile:

I received a B.A. from Queens College in Charlotte, NC and an M.L.S. from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg.  I have been the librarian for Northeast Middle School since the school’s opening in 1993.  I am married to Steve McCartney and have one son Donnie, who is a senior at Mississippi State University.  In my spare time, I enjoy shopping, spending time with family and friends, and of course, reading.
