About Us

Hi! My name is Julie Owen and I am the Library Media Specialist at Bethel. I am a Georgia native, but have lived in the Greenville area for 16 years, and I LOVE it!  I graduated from Georgia Southern University in 2007 with a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. In 2019, I received my Master's in Library and Information Science from University of South Carolina. I am also a National Board Certified Teacher. This is my 17th year as an educator, and I have been in the school district all 17 years as a second grade teacher, third grade teacher, technology specialist, and school librarian. This is my 4th year as a school librarian, but my first at Bethel. I am SO glad to be here!  I am married to my husband David of 16 years, and we have four kids (13, 9, and 6 year old twins). We also have a 3 year old Great Pyrenees dog named Trevor. If I can help you with anything, please let me know!
