Minerva Central School
Class Information:
Students per Class: 60
Class Description:
I have several classes of students in the library. They range in size from four 5th graders to ten 3rd graders. They are a great bunch of kids who truly enjoy coming to the library.
Position:
Librarian
Needs:
What do they need? Wow, so much. I would love for them to have access to EReaders. We have access to the EBooks but do not have the readers. My older students would love to be able to work on laptops.
My Philosophy:
My philosophy is that all of my students deserve to have an equal footing as other students in bigger schools. Sadly, they do not. Our budget is small because we are small.
Personal Information:

I always pictured heaven to be a bit like a library The Love of Learning, The sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books"~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Technology

Minerva Central School 16 years
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because I love it. I am a librarian because I love the way books open the world to me. I want my students to experience the world through their library. They are so sheltered in our little town of 700 people. Their opportunites are limited compared to students in larger towns or cities.
