Laurie Hackney received a BBA in Management from the University of Montevallo in 2005. She followed that up with an MLIS from the University of Alabama in 2007. After spending her early library days as a page, she tried on a lot of hats before blending her two degrees as the Assistant Director here in Opelika. Her first love are her two pets Bezi and MJ, but she also enjoys crocheting and weight lifting.
