Graham Hill Elementary School
Class Information:
Room Number: Library
Students per Class: 321
Class Description:
Our library is a beautiful open space with lots of natural light. One of my goals is to create ‘nooks’ where kids can curl up and read, undisturbed. The iPads will help non-readers feel like they can do this, to. My library is growing, but there is a lot that we still need! The library is a central meeting space for students and staff. It is located in the center of the building and has working tables, a few (very well used and loved) computers and a comfy reading area. Surrounding the walls are floor to ceiling book shelves. Because more than 65% of our student body is low income, we are in a predicament: we are able to fundraise for basic materials for our school to function. We are truly an equitable community so that money is spread around to everyone, but that money goes only so far, and can not cover the growing needs of our library.
Position:
Librarian
Needs:
I would like to be able to provide access to new technologies for our student population at Graham Hill Elementary. Our students need the opportunity to access 21st Century skills (creativity, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration). Specifically, we need an iPad cart so that students can practice using touch screens, access to digital books and programs, and for the upper level students to do research and exploration projects.
My Philosophy:
The mission of the library is to provide a safe environment for literacy and information to enhance the learning ability of the school community. Students will be transliterate as they learn to create, connect, and collaborate with their peers

About Me:
left teaching to raise my children. After they were grown, I worked in several business settings, but nothing gave me the joy I experienced in teaching, so I’m back! I believe reading changes lives. Period. As a librarian, I have the chance to open a child’s world with books. Opportunities abound when a book is opened. Books can make you laugh, cry, and dream without judgement. Free people read freely!
