Jennifer Finch , Head Librarian/Branch Manager
Jennifer says:
I have lived in 6 different states and Houston is the longest I've ever lived anywhere. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Louisiana, Monroe. I taught for one year before deciding my future lay in libraries. I worked as a Children's Specialist with the Madison County Library System in Mississippi while completing my Master's Degree in Library and Information Science online through the University of Southern Mississippi. After completing my degree I accepted the position as Young Adult Librarian at the Katherine Tyra at Bear Creek Library with HCPL, where I worked for seven and a half years. I have spent the last two years as the Assistant Branch Manager of Youth Services at the Fairbanks Branch. I am also involved in the local theater community with the Murder Mystery Co. I have also been in productions with Stageworks Theater, Playhouse 1960, and most recently with Tapestry Players where I portrayed Doris Walker in a radio show version of Miracle on 34th Street.
