Welcome New Children's Librarian

Tish Wiggs

Tish moved to West Virginia in 2015. A native of North Carolina, she holds a BA and MSLS from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as well as an MA in Public History from UNC-Greensboro. She lives in Shepherdstown with her husband, James Broomall, who is a professor in Shepherd University's History Department, and their three children, Simon, Henry, and Adeliza.

Since the Fall of 2016, she has worked part-time in both the Adult and Children's departments of the Shepherdstown Public Library. Tish is excited to be the new Children's Librarian, and she looks forward sharing her enthusiasm for books and learning with the children and families of Shepherdstown.
