About the Staff
Debbie Flinner, Library Director
Holding both bachelor's and master's degrees in the education field from the University of Dayton and Seton Hill University, respectively, Debbie has finally graduated from teaching preschool for the last 20 years to heading our Library staff. By admission, her favorite literary genre is Kiddie Lit, which she believes is best when read aloud. She is a self-proclaimed "sports junkie" who loves to cook and bake. Debbie currently resides in North Huntingdon with her husband Stan and hare-brained pet rabbit, Oreo. |

| Mandy served as the Library Director from October 2003 - April 2009. She recently stepped down as the director to spend more time with her children, but is still working at the Library on a limited basis to help with state reports, grant writing, and other administrative tasks. She says, “I have really enjoyed my time here at Sewickley Twp. It has been so much fun helping the Library to grow and expand its programs and services. I am particularly proud of the incredible growth of our children’s programs, especially the Summer Reading Program. People often ask my why I don’t work at a larger library, but I truly feel that working at a small library is what I’m meant to do.” |
