Librarian
Marilyn has been a librarian at Pratt for over thirty years, and she is currently the Branch Manager of the Forest Park Branch. Books have always been her passion and libraries have always been her refuge. One of her favorite parts of her job is working with the young people who come into the library because she loves watching them develop and grow up to be productive adults: earning degrees, starting their own businesses, and doing things that will help make this nation prosper. She knows that the library changes lives.
