Staff Profile

Anthony Williams is a Library Associate at the Beaches Branch Library.

Q: How long and where all have you worked at JPL?
A: I started working at the library in 2004 at the Beaches Regional Library. I was then transferred to the Main Library in the African-American Collection, where I stayed for 6 months. I later transferred back to the Beaches Library.

Q: What do you look forward to most on the weekends?
A: Weekends are far and few. When I'm not working at the library, I have my military commitment to the Navy so that leaves me only one weekend out of the month.

Q: Tell us a little bit about your family.
A: I have a wife, Deborah, who just finished completing her Masters Degree in Librarianship at University of South Florida and my daughter, Alia, who attends La Villa School of the Arts where she plays the euphonium. My wife and I are from Philadelphia, Pa., and my daughter was born here in Jacksonville.

Q: What's one thing that people probably don't know about you?

A: I own my own part-time business that involves event planning and cruise destination travel.

Q: What books are you reading?

A: Robert Ludlum and Vince Flynn’s cloak and dagger type novels.

Q: What's the best part about working at JPL?

A: I enjoy helping our customers with their questions and seeing them leave knowing the fact that I made their day a little easier.
