Mallory came to Tredyffrin Township Libraries in May 2023 after being with her previous library for more than 20 years. She has both bachelors and master’s degrees in Library Science from Kutztown University. She is a library user and advocate who loves ice cream, dogs, coffee, squirrels, books, and watching Stranger Things with her kids, but not necessarily together, and not necessarily in that order. She not only can give you some great book recommendations, but also where to get some delicious ice cream throughout Berks, Chester, and Lancaster Counties.

Find out what Mallory is reading outside her office door at Tredyffrin Public Library.
