Meet the Librarian:  Ms. Deb Cook

Ms. Cook has been the librarian at The Academies at Jonesboro High School since 2015.  Before becoming the librarian, Ms. Cook served as the district's literacy specialist.  As an educator, Ms. Cook has taught elementary, middle school/jr. high, high school, as well as, college.  What she enjoys most about education is the interaction between teachers and students as they learn from each other.
