Eileen began her career as an elementary school educator in North Carolina. During that time, she received an opportunity to manage a library in a K-8 private school. Eileen went back to get her degree in library science to advance her career. As she forged her new professional path, Eileen quickly discovered that collection development, equal access to resources, and the richness of intellectual freedom is the hallmark and treasure of library services.
