Our most exciting adventure recently was a once in a lifetime trip to Tahiti! It was rescheduled multiple times due to Covid but was so worth the wait!

I LOVE the fact that technology is now such an integral part of our school libraries.  I originally thought the next step in my career would be Instructional Technology but once I started teaching reading and realized my passion for helping students see themselves as readers and my passion for technology could be found in one place, I knew it was finally time to start on my Masters.

I was an early adopter of the Google Certified Educator program and worked my way up to Level 2 certification (which it's time to renew!).  While I love all things Google, I look forward to expanding my horizons in other technology applications.

I inherited a library that was built in 2000 but was a treasure trove of books and supplies from previous campuses.  While there have been several fun finds of library history, there are also enough artificial flowers to open a shop and some really old and moldy (yuck!) books!

While I consider myself fairly proficient in technology, actually putting skills like cataloging and barcoding to practice for the first time has me feeling a little tentative.  It will continue to be a learning curve as I organize and promote our library but I am excited for the opportunity!
