“I love all that libraries stand for in society.” – Clare Barton

Clare Barton is an applications support analyst II for Library Technology and Digital Strategies (LTDS). She has previously spent over ten years as a branch manager and adult services librarian in public libraries in Cobb and Fannin counties.

A native of Athens, Clare earned a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Georgia and her master of library and information science degree at Valdosta State. She also completed a coding boot camp last year.

For fun, Clare likes to knit, read, walk, and hike. She spends a lot of time “managing the child circus” of her three kids, ages 9, 14, and 17, respectively. Her wife is the director of IT operations at Atlanta University School.

“I love all that libraries stand for in society,” says Clare. “I also got into IT and coding, and this position is the perfect marriage of the two.”
