Kuhns

received her bachelor's in English from the University of

Nebraska in 1993 and her master's in library services

from Clarion University of Pennsylvania in 1998. She came

to the Peachtree City Library in November of 1998 from

Brodart Company in Williamsport, Pa., where she was the

training supervisor for the company's renowned customized

cataloging department, Compleat Book-Serv.

While at

Brodart, Kuhns supervised a group of 26 catalogers who

worked on databases from large public library systems

including Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco and Los

Angeles public libraries.

Since

coming on board at the Peachtree City Library, Kuhns

authored the first-ever Library Master/Technology Plan,

which was presented at the annual City Council retreat at

the Aberdeen Woods Conference Center Saturday, April 8.

Last year a

sampling of Kuhns' work was published for the first time

in the June issue of Library Journal, where she provided

commentary for the "How Do You Manage?" column.

She also was one of four staff members who represented

the Peachtree City Library at the Georgia Library

Association's Annual Conference last year in Jekyll

Island, where she presented her paper, "Catching the

Wave: Staff Training for Y2K and Beyond."

Currently

Kuhns is serving on GLA's Governmental Relations

Committee.
