Kelley is the Head of East Campus Libraries (Lilly and Music). In this position, Kelley spends a lot of time staffing the Lilly Public Services Desk, monitoring the Libraries’ instant messaging service, holding one-on-one research consultations with students, providing library instruction for courses, and working on special projects, especially those that involve assessment and outreach. Kelley came to Duke in 1992 as an intern in the Perkins Research Services Department and has held a variety of difference positions in the Library since that time. In 1995, she moved east to Lilly Library and has been there ever since. Kelley is also the subject librarian for U.S. history.
Almost a native North Carolinian, Kelley has lived in the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill) since her college days. She enjoys traveling, reading, visiting historical sites and museums, and knitting scarves (maybe she will move on to other projects some day). She lives in Durham with her husband and younger son. Her older son is off on his own college experience at Davidson College.
