Let's Meet another Library Director!

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Kim T, who has been a director of Luttrell Public Library since February of this year.  Her intense blue eyes, shielded by her jeweled black glasses, convey her passion for education and literacy.  She leans forward and smiles as she discusses the library.

Kim, who has a Bachelor of Arts in Human Growth and Learning (K – 6 grades), is excited about the opportunity to advocate for literacy.   Already in her tenure as director she has secured grant funding to extend Luttrell Public Library’s reading programs.  In addition, she looks forward to working closely with the local schools this school year, and has purchased equipment – including a Smart Board – to assist educators at the library.

Kim has no plans to stop and rest on her laurels – she is working towards expanding relevant and vibrant programming for all ages, increasing library usage, and raising funds for a library expansion.  And she looks forward to fostering family literacy throughout her community.

And Kim has a strong sense of community and family – she is a lifelong Tennessee resident, and is active as a dance instructor in Praise Dance.   She’s been married for years, and has three children – two daughters and one son.  Someday, she would enjoy traveling abroad and having brunch with Nicolas Sparks.

I look forward to seeing all that Kim T achieves.
