Introducing New Deputy Director: Terry Hill
Please join us in welcoming Terry B. Hill as the new
deputy director of the library.
Terry is a native of Taylorsville, NC. He earned his Masters
in Library Science from UNC-Chapel Hill, and most recently
worked as the assistant to the Vice Provost and Director of
Libraries at North Carolina State University.
Terry has a diverse background. He began his work with
libraries as an undergraduate at Appalachian State and Duke
University. He gained collection development experience
as a librarian at Hope Valley Elementary School, and as
a subscription agent for the international book vendor
Harrassowitz. Terry also taught at both UNC and NCCU’s
library schools, and he is passionate about mentoring people
entering the library profession.
As an active member of the community, Terry tutors at the
Durham Literacy Center and serves as a guardian ad litem.
Terry and his wife, Tracy, live in Durham, along with their
Peeps Show 2012 Even Bigger
The second annual Durham County Library Peeps Show is
in the history books, and it was bigger and better than last
year. To highlight library services and collections, staff members
throughout the system created 13 dioramas featuring Peeps,
the marshmallow, spring candy bunnies and chicks. This year
some younger customers got in on the act as well. Though they
could not compete, children at McDougald Terrace and East
Regional made their own peep-o-ramas.
More than 200 peep fans visited the library to vote on their
favorite display, and more than 550 votes were cast by liking
peep-o-rama photos on Facebook.
