"I currently live in Lexington, KY. with my husband. I was born and raised in Kathleen, Georgia. My parents and siblings still reside in Georgia.

I love reading, walking, running, volunteering, attending church and spending time with family and friends.

I attended Warner Robins High School. After high school I attended Mercer University and graduated 1993 with a BBA in Finance. Then I attended John Marshall Law School and graduated 1997 with a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. A few years later, I attended Clark Atlanta University and graduated with my MLS degree.

Since graduating from Clark Atlanta University, I have had the opportunity to work as a librarian in academic, law and public libraries. My tenure working in public libraries has been the longest. After my first job as a branch manager at the Louisville Free Public Library, I knew that I would remain in public libraries for the remainder of my career. I have served in public libraries since 2003, and I am still excited each morning about coming to work.

As the Director for the Cynthiana-Harrison County Public Library, I am excited about the challenge of joining an already great team and year-to-year having the opportunity to work with the library board, staff, and community members to again and again identify the ever changing community needs and having the opportunity to create more innovative programs and services to meet those needs. Also, I look forward to continuing to be an advocate for the library, maintaining and developing new community partnerships as well as identifying and implementing new ways to keep providing superior customer service for the library patrons.

Above all, I am honored to serve as the new Director of the Cynthiana-Harrison County Public Library, in order to have the opportunity to work with the current library team to continue making available library services that will change the lives of people in the community."  

LFPL Director Jim Blanton noticed Scoskie's commitment to education throughout the community and nominated her for the award. In her nearly three years at the Library, Scoskie has been at the epicenter of some of LFPL's biggest initiatives. In her first month at the Library, she partnered with Code Louisville to offer free coding classes, a program which went on to receive a $2.9 million federal grant. In 2014 she helped create the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge to encourage kindergarten-preparedness in Jefferson County students. Then, in 2015, she designed Share 100 Stories Before 4th Grade, a school-partnership program that puts books into the homes of young students and encourages them to read aloud and discuss what they're reading with their families.

The Russell County Public Library is never short on ideas to bring the community into the library to be educated and engaged. 

The library is currently holding its fifth annual Seed Swap. Patrons attend at no cost, and talk about gardening, exchange seeds (particularly heirloom) and learn self-sustaining ways of living.

Russell County youth ages 12-17 are very excited about the library's contest to design the new Russell County Public Library Young Adult Library Card. Contestants must submit their original artwork which will be used on the front of the new cards, as well as in promotional materials.

A staff member who is a former writer and managing editor for a local newspaper submits a column to the local paper called "@ Your Library." The column lists many of the events and programs available at the library to inform the public about all the library has to offer.

Children age nine and under get in on the act too, with a program every other Saturday that offers the opportunity to play video games on the library's Wii-U, and learn about the library. To be part of the program, children interact with the library by checking out books and reading.
