Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year. I hope each of you enjoyed your summer and are prepared and ready to learn. I know that I am! This summer was a very busy one for me. I kicked it off by visiting my family in Ohio for the Fourth of July. Did you visit any relatives during summer vacation? 

Later that summer, my husband, Bill, and I traveled to Australia for a two week holiday followed by a week long trip to New Zealand. It was amazing! I highly reccomend putting it on everyone's bucket list. Can you find Australia and New Zealand on a globe?

I'm very pleased to be back and anticipate a PAWSitive year ahead!

Take a look at my Web Resources page and browse all of the various links; there are quite a variety of student interactives. I'm looking forward to working with each of you this year and seeing you grow in your love of books and your enjoyment of finding and reading just right books. Whether it be realistic fiction, fantasy, graphic novels, nonfiction, mystery, historical fiction, picture books, easy readers, etc., we have them available in the library. I'd love to show you how to use the online catalog to help you locate books of interest. Please feel free to ask for assistance as you familiarize yourself with the library. I'm looking forward to a great start to a great school year. Happy reading!    

This is my sixth year as the Library Media Specialist. In a previous life, I taught 2nd and 5th grades. While raising a family, I was a substitute teacher. I live with my husband, son, and three dogs in Shoreham. I enjoy reading, listening to old-time radio, shopping, and playing with my dogs. I was raised on a farm in Ohio as the youngest of eight children. I always remember being read to by my parents and siblings. Give your child a gift...read to them. 

I look forward to helping your child develop a love of literacy.
