Emily Nanney

Associate Director, Programs

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library, North Carolina

Emily Nanney, who has been with the Library for over 20 years, is most passionate about public libraries and exceptional customer service for all. She is also passionate about hard work and gratitude in all things, as well as positivity. Her quote to live by? “It is never too late to be what you might have been.” Emily says, “I interpret this quote to mean that it is never too late to fulfill your dream or purpose in life, pick up a talent or interest that has been set aside for a time, etc.” Spending time with family, being outside enjoying nature, watching professional tennis and reality television are all ways Emily fills her free time. And of course, reading!
