Branch Manager - Ashlee Hammond
A native Daytonian, Ashlee Hammond grew up in the Madden Hills and Westwood areas.

She is an alumnus of the Black Leadership Development Program through Parity, Inc. Her Library career began in 2011 as a Library Aide. Through the years, she’s continued to grow within the Dayton Metro Library system, working as a Patron Services Assistant, Teen Services Librarian, and Assistant Branch Manager.
