- My name is LaTarsha Debro and I am from Halifax County.
As a branch librarian, I am tasked with overseeing all of the day-to-day operations of the library, but what I enjoy most is working with the children and families in our community.
I am ecstatic about being a Rootle Ambassador because I grew up as a PBS Kid.
My favorite show was "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" because it helped to foster my love for community.
I would like to provide areas in our county where people would have access to the resources that PBS provides.
I am so excited to advocate for the children and families of Halifax County.
