My Project

As a school librarian, I love to see students get excited about books! A library is an ever changing place. As interests change over time, so do the books that kids love to read!

It is my job to provide students with up to date, relevant, engaging titles that keep them interested in reading!

Being a librarian is the best job! I love getting to know students, their interests, and being able to provide books that they want to read. I love being able to provide a safe place in our school library where all students feel welcome and with titles they love! This project allows me to tap into student interests and provide more titles that will be of interest to them!
