A little bit about me: I completed my undergraduate degree at Meredith College and received my Master of Science in Library Science degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I love the Raleigh area and have been happy to call it home for nearly 12 years. While I have worked in many different types of libraries (and I can occasionally still be found working at one of the Wake County Public Libraries) working in the elementary setting is my favorite. I enjoy connecting students with books that encourage them to use their imagination or expand their knowledge in an area of interest.
Kindergarten and First Grade classes will meet with me each week during their regularly scheduled time during specials. I will share some of my favorite books with them and they will be learn how to find books as well. During the first quarter our focus will be on general library skills: how books are organized in the library, how to search for books, and how to check out and return books.
Second through Fifth Grade classes will be meeting with me on a more flexible schedule to focus on research skills and specific projects. The flexible schedule will all me to better support students and teachers while extending the learning that is happening in their classrooms.
All students are welcome to come to the Learning Commons at any time (with permission from their classroom teacher) between the hours of 8:45 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. During that time students may check out or return books, research, or work on projects.
Follow me on Twitter @brassybooks for updates and pictures of things happening in the Learning Commons.
Visit the Learning Commons website for resources to help with research, finding books, or to search our library catalog.
