Kathryn “Katie” Ervin is the acquisitions librarian for Dover Memorial Library at Gardner-Webb University. She previously worked in the ZSR Library at Wake Forest, the Goldberg Library at Charlotte Christian College, and the Center of Academic Success at Johnson & Wales University. She holds a B.A. in journalism from High Point University, a M.A. in religious studies from Wake Forest University, and a MLIS (M.S. of library science) from UNC-Greensboro. She is a voracious reader, avid traveler, and sometimes women’s devotional writer. She has also written two children’s books and is (somewhat inactively) looking for publishers.
