Spanish. She continued her studies in the iSchool, Drexel University,

Mrs. Burns has created and developed four very different libraries from the
ground up, including a marketing library for R.J. Reynolds Industries,

a renovated library for St. Mary Catholic School and the library media center
for St. Mark Catholic School.

become a Star Discovery Educator and she presently serves as the Program
Chair for the North Carolina Discovery Educator Network. She is also a member
of the North Carolina School Library Media Association.
When she's not off reading somewhere, Mrs. Burns loves to practice ballet,
yoga and pilates. Otherwise, you might find her out on the waterway paddling
her yellow kayak or happily applauding some of the amazing local theater
talent we have in Wilmington.
Come visit the library soon!
