About your Library Media Specialist...
My name is Katy Hollinger and I'm so excited to be the librarian at RPE! I obtained my Bachelor's degree from the University of Kentucky in 2006, and began my teaching career at Rosa Parks shortly after graduating. I taught 4th grade for eight years before moving to the library in 2014. In 2011, I earned my Masters of Library Science degree from UK.
I am originally from Owensboro, KY, where my mom and dad still live. My husband, Jeff, and I married in 2010. He teaches STEM Lab here at RPE. We have a one-year-old baby girl, Shelby, and our dog-child, Miller.
