Nicole Hernline x111
library director
Nicole is the director at the Monroeville Public Library. She taught 7th grade English for four years where she learned that all humans who work with middle schoolers deserve to go straight to heaven. Her students also called her the Queen of the books, which got her thinking that perhaps that’s what she would like to be. She learned quickly that libraries are not monarchies – and are, happily enough, bastions of democracy. And so much more than books. So she found her way to the University of Pittsburgh to collect another Master’s degree, learned to Google better than everyone else, and settled for becoming an executive director of two amazing libraries. Monroeville is her favorite.

Ms. B has been the Teen Services Librarian since 2006 and the Assistant Director since 2016. She loves sci-fi and fantasy, comic books, Sherlock Holmes, and a plethora of other geeky interests. When she’s not being a librarian, she’s either hiking in a nearby park or writing stories about her geeky interests.

head of adult programming
Cory Little has been a Reference and Instruction Librarian at the Monroeville Public Library for over 5 years but has worked in libraries for most of his adult life. He is currently involved in two book clubs that each focus on non-fiction books, so he's always looking for fiction recommendations - particularly in fantasy, sci-fi and horror!
Catriona Kirk x145
children's librarian
Miss Catriona has been working in the Children’s Room since 2017. She enjoys reading stories in a silly voice and cajoling children into singing with her – there are not many jobs where she could use this specific skill set, so she was happy to find her place at the library. When she is not at the library, she likes reading mysteries, traveling to new places, and napping. No matter what she tells you, she is not actually the Library Police.
