Ms. Neal has been at East for 12 years.  Previously, she worked in a public library, and she worked for six years as an elementary teacher.  She has also been a secretary, a waitress, a bookstore cashier, a worker in an after-school program, a newspaper carrier, and much more.  She feels that all of these past work experiences help her to be a better librarian.   Ms. Neal loves to travel and loves to quilt.
