Deena Daughtery has been an Atlantic City Free Public Library member for at least 25 years – and she credits the library with helping her twice in her career. The first time came while working as a conductor for the Atlantic City Boardwalk Tram Service from 2014-19. An outgoing and friendly person, Daughtery looked to improve her riders’ experience by sharing facts about the Boardwalk and the places they were passing.
