Deputy Director of the Detroit Public Library. Her annual salary as of 2011 was $145,000. Her 3-year contract was renewed in 2009.
In May 2011, the Library Commission moved to buy out Machie's contract. Machie helped lead the controversial expansion of the Library's South Wing. A Commission report shows Frye Gillan Molinaro Architects, a Chicago-based firm was given a $125,600 contract to manage design the Wing without filing a bid with prices. The firm previously had legal trouble with the library.
Machie has also taught for Wayne State University in the School of Library and Information Science.
