Meet the Librarian

Morgan Parks

I have been the Library Director for Kincaid Community Library for over a year and recently took the position as director at Colony City Library. I absolutely love my job! My favorite time of year is the Summer, for the Summer Library Program—it’s such a joy to spend the summer giving back to our community through fun activities.

When I’m not at the library, I enjoy RZR riding just about anywhere I can. My husband, Jerry, and I have been married since 2015, and together we have three wonderful children: Amelia, Aurora, and Abbott. Growing up, some of my favorite books were Junie B. Jones and The Magic Treehouse—they sparked my lifelong love for reading and imagination.
