Mrs. Nikki Playle is the new library media specialist at St. Dominic. Her job is to make sure the learning commons is an enjoyable place for students to spend their time and is also responsible for choosing the best possible books for our library. Mrs. Playle and her family moved to O’Fallon as a result of her husband’s new job. She has three kids: Trisha, who graduated from St. Dominic last year and is now a freshman at Wyoming, Derek, who is a junior at St. Dominic, and Courtney, who is also a freshman here. In her free time, Mrs. Playle loves to read. She read 85 books this past summer and tries to read at least two books every weekend.
