Sarah Lynch, Librarian

I've worked at Wolcott since 2008. I received my MS in Elementary Education as well as a certification in library science from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. I'm originally from Beaufort, SC- a town on the coast of South Carolina. I have loved books and libraries all my life. When I travel, I make sure to visit local libraries.

Some of my interests outside of work are travel, exploring the outdoors, cooking, and reading (of course!). I have many favorite books, but one of my all-time favorite series is Harry Potter.
