Staff Spotlight Treaven Mitchell, Circulation Services Manager, Main Library How long have you been at the library? I've been working with the Jackson- Madison County Library since November 2012. What do you enjoy most about your job? I enjoy putting things in order, so I enjoy shelving a lot. Organizing is very calming for me. What is your favorite book? I have a few favorite books. The ones that come to mind are Love Beyond Life, Poet Anderson... of Nightmares, Green Heart, and Jurassic Park. Tell us about your family, friends, or pets. I'm married to my best friend, Sarah, and I have a 9 year old daughter. I have 5 pets consisting of 2 dogs and 3 cats. Their names are Goku, Speck, Luna, Lana, and Buddy. What is something people may not know about you? I have been skateboarding for 21 years now. I have made a short documentary about myself that won 3 awards at film festivals. I even have my own IMDB page showing the film projects I have worked on over the years.
