Professional Development

Greetings! I've worked as a shelver/page, in circulation, in a hyrbid position, and in reference. In past careers I've also worked as a corporate trainer and technical writer.

I have 10 years experience as school library media specialist (2 years in elementary, eight years in high school). We are one of 3 high schools in our district, with approximately 1200 students.

I worked for 10 years in the public library field before transitioning to school libraries 9 years ago. Currently, I work as SL Media Specialist/ Tech Coach at Bergenfield HS. I also serve on the DEAC,  ScIP and Technology committees.

I am an energetic and motivated information professional that is fully certified as a School Library Media Specialist as well as a Professional Librarian in the State of New Jersey.

Since 2013, I have served in supervisory roles and administration in public libraries. Currently, I am the Library Director of a small library, overseeing all levels of staff and activities.

I have worked primarily in public libraries since receiving my MLS from Rutgers University in 1994 with a brief stop as Director of Information Technology at the New Jersey State Library.

I'm an Adult Services Librarian at the Cherry Hill Public Library. I hold an MA (2007) in public history and an MLIS (2013), both from Rutgers University.

Hi! My name is Allen McGinley and I am currently the Library Director at Teaneck Public Library in Bergen County.

I have been a Teen Services Librarian at Piscataway Public Library since 2011. I am responsible for programming, collection development, and outreach services for adolescents in grades 6-12, as well as reference services to patrons of all ages.
