My name is Anita Hutto. I am the librarian here at PES. I have been in education for 27 years and have been a librarian for the last 19 years. After graduating from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Elementary Education, I started teaching 7th and 8th grade Math in North, SC. I was there for 7 years. While receiving my Masters of Library and Informational Science from USC, I started working as a librarian in Bowman, SC. I finished my degree and spent 5 years at Bowman. I then became the librarian at Congaree-Wood Early Childhood Center in Pine Ridge, SC where I spent 9 years. I started here at PES in August of 2017.
I love my job! Being able to show students the love I have for reading and research is the best feeling! I love to see their eyes light up when they discover new information about a topic or when they discover a new "best book" ever!
When I am not at work, I love being with my family and friends! READING, watching TV, and cheering on My USC GAMECOCKS!
