My mission is to make the library a bright, welcoming, and busy place where all students feel safe and comfortable to take learning risks. Students will be engaged, stimulated, and enjoy learning about how libraries work and are arranged, digital citizenship, electronic and print resources, ethical use of information, research, and a joy of reading. I want my students to be life-long, inquisitive learners who will seek out information whether in a physical library or in a digital world.
My goals:
| Develop a love of reading in students. |
- Create bright, welcoming, organized space which is the heart of the school.

Students come to library for 45 minutes once a cycle. However, they are encouraged to visit at any time during the school day. Students receive a 30 minute lesson and have 10-15 minutes to check out library materials.
I want your student to love visiting the library!
