Gail Snodgrass
Vice President
Gail Snodgrass grew up in Jonesborough, Tennessee and spent every afternoon after school in the local downtown library. Living in a small town with a library at the center of the community and intertwined with her hometown history shaped her belief that a library is much more than a lending institution. After moving back to the region three years ago to start her architectural practice in Erwin, Gail has had the chance experience living in a small town again with a library that serves its patrons while representing the history of the town. It is her goal to support the efforts of the library staff and to protect the legacy of the library as a vital part of Erwin.
