She describes her responsibilities as coordinating Network Services staff, NEBASE activities, and statewide database licensing negotiation. After graduating from Ramsay High School in Birmingham, AL, she completed her Bachelor's degree in Mass Communication and History at Auburn University and earned a Master of Arts degree in Applied History and a Master of Library Science degree from the University of South Carolina.

As a little girl, Shannon remembers going to the library in Augusta, which was located in a historic home near what was then Augusta College. |
She worked in her high school library and in the bindery department as an undergraduate and in the Architecture Library at Auburn. Shannon became interested in librarianship by way of her interest in archives. She began her career in archives at The University of West Alabama. Prior to moving to Nebraska she held the position of Assistant Director at the Tutwiler Library. Shannon and her
fiancé (whose family is located in Axtell) have a dog named Dharma and a cat named Kitty. She enjoys gardening, camping, and reading regional fiction and nonfiction. Her favorite author these days is Bill Bryson and her favorite magazine is Southern Living. Shannon says that, so far, the best thing about living in Lincoln is the lack of freeways running through town. |
