Meet the teen librarians

We want to hear from you! Get in touch with us anytime. Find a teen librarian at your library location:

Caroline holding up the book "Speak."

Caroline

Location: Southwest Regional Library

Email: cbpeterson@dconc.gov

Caroline has been with Durham County Library since 2014. She is not a Durham native and has moved around quite a bit. She loves helping teens, especially if they need help finding a new book to read or help with homework. Like most librarians, Caroline loves to read, especially graphic novels, romance, and LGBTQ books. When she is not working, she likes to garden, bake (and eat) cookies, and spend as much time outside as possible.

Danielle

Location: Stanford L. Warren Branch Library

Email: dsjohnson@dconc.gov

Danielle is the Teen Services Manager for Stanford L. Warren. She grew up in Durham, NC. She grew up reading many books, watching anime, and playing video games. The video game systems that hold a soft spot in her heart are the SNES and PS2. Most people she’s worked with in the library know that she wanted to go to circus school but has settled on taking lyra classes and improving her roller skating skills. Danielle is always plotting her next adventure!

Dominique holding up the graphic novel "Saga."

Dominique

Location: North Regional Library

Email: fdiggs@dconc.gov

Dominique is an avid reader of everything fiction. She loves to debate about books with teens, so she loves book clubs. She also enjoys playing video games when she's not reading or thinking about her next home project.

Ezra

Location: South Regional Library

Email: eletson@dconc.gov

Ezra is the Teen Services Manager at South Regional Library. He’s worked with teens since 2021 and his favorite part of the job is planning library programs! He’s passionate about creating welcoming spaces where teens can connect with one another, express themselves, build confidence, and discover new interests. An avid zine enthusiast, he spends much of his free time reading zines or creating his own; otherwise, he’s likely working on art projects, sending postcards to pen-pals, or reading mystery books while his very fluffy cat peers over his shoulder.

LaShaunda

Location: Main Library

Email: lrogers@dconc.gov

LaShaunda is the Teen Services Manager at Main Library. She has been employed with Durham County Library since July 2006, beginning as a Library Page. Her passion for working with teens began through conversing with fellow Teen Services Manager Archie Burke and connecting with many of the teen patrons during her tenure at East Regional Library. After graduate school, she got back into the love of reading, with an interest in graphic novels and young adult materials about real-life situations. Outside of the library world, she loves spending time with her tween daughter playing video games.
