I believe the reasons we enter the world of education varies from person to person. For me, it started with my love of books. My love of reading and my passion to share with others what I’ve read has instilled in me the determination to succeed in this profession. I strive to encourage and support students to be critical thinkers, advanced researchers, and reading enthusiasts.
My philosophy as the Librarian is to maintain a clean, diverse collection of fiction and nonfiction in contemporary prints and digital access, with publications that span across generations. I will meet the needs of all students, including low level readers, readers with disabilities, and advanced readers. My duties include cleaning, repairing, and updating the book collection that students may choose from. They will maintain the quality of our library books for 2 weeks at a time. My duties will not stop at the library door. Equal to promoting literacy, my job is to deliver instructional and technological support to the teachers and staff at my school. I will maintain, update, review, and coordinate any and all online programs used by the school with my fellow teachers and support staff.
When students walk through my door, they are welcomed with a smile and encouraged to find books on subject they are passionate about. I am also here to support the classroom instruction by working with teachers and student on classroom projects, student led clubs, and parental involvement with our community. The equal respect for teacher and student will be upheld in the library. It is wonderful to serve every student in the school, and watch them fall in love with reading.
