Former library director seeks position as Register of Deeds
|
“I would like to see the office of Register of Deeds open again on Saturday mornings until noon, in order to accommodate the folks who find it hard to get to the office during the week,” Curtis said. “If elected, I will explore that possibility. I will offer efficient and friendly service to the taxpayers of Warren County.”
Curtis worked at Magness Library for 15 years, serving as assistant director for six years and director for nine years. During this time, Curtis said the library experienced unprecedented growth. With the help of the library staff, the institution’s records were converted from print format to computer, making checking out and record keeping much easier. The library also experienced a huge growth in children’s programming and many grants were obtained under Curtis’ direction. These grants were used to purchase library materials and computers.
Curtis has been married to retired Air Force Master Sgt. Kenneth Curtis for 30 years. They have two sons, Lee who resides in McMinnville and Andrew and daughter-in-law, Carrie, who reside in Oak Ridge. Curtis received her formal education in England and in 1997 received her public library degree from the State Library and Archives. She also holds certification from UT as a public administrator. She is a 1993 graduate of Leadership McMinnville. If elected, Curtis says she will continue to be a hands-on administrator.
