MATT BALL Director
LINDA TEAGUE Librarian
MARTY HAMBURGER Library Assistant
Matt Ball joined the Pace community as director of the Woodruff Library upon its opening in 2014. A graduate of Georgia State University, Ball earned a Master of Library Science from Syracuse University and most recently served as media and collections librarian at the University of Virginia.
Linda Teague’s career as a librarian began after high school when she was briefly employed in a public library. She took a 20-year hiatus to work in the corporate world but returned to her literary roots in 1994 to earn a master’s in library science. Teague went on to serve the Cherokee Garden Library at the Atlanta History Center, where she helped reclassify the collection. She joined the Pace faculty in 1996 and especially enjoys working with students in the Middle School.
Marty Hamburger came to Pace in 2014 to serve as evening supervisor of the new Woodruff Library. An Iowa native, Hamburger earned a bachelor’s from the University of Iowa before working as an assistant swim coach at Georgia Tech for eight years. With his help, the library has implemented fun and educational activities for students and faculty who remain on campus into the evening.
Ball’s dynamic personality and passion for his profession make him the ideal individual to lead the library. His goal is to provide resources and spaces that encourage and enable learning, critical thinking and a sheer love of reading.
