I am the Director of Library Services at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, where I have worked for 10 years.

Previously, I served on the NEFLIN Board of Directors.

My name is Courtney Pyche (pronounced Puh – Shay), and I’m a Children and Teen Librarian for the Alachua County Library District. I have experience in county, academic, and federal library services and have had the privilege of specializing in youth programs for the last three years. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in International Studies from the University of Florida in 2018 and my Master’s degree in Information from Florida State University in 2020. In teen services, libraries have an opportunity to encourage lifelong learning and civic engagement habits, and I believe we have a responsibility to teens in our communities to do so through relevant, engaging programs, collections, and services.
