As the school library media coordinator at Vance Elementary, I love sharing my love of reading with students and helping them discover books that reflect their own experiences. I encourage students to explore stories that open their minds to the world around them, while also fostering a joy for books that are simply fun to read. I take a hands-on approach to learning, encouraging students to be creative problem solvers through interactive activities and access to available technologies. Whether it's finding the next great book series or a new digital resource, I’m always on the lookout for innovative tools to share with our students and inspire their lifelong love of learning.

 

Mission: Our mission is to foster a love of reading in all forms and help students make real-world connections through engaging stories, digital resources, and hands-on STEM activities that support literacy and classroom learning.

 

Vision: Our vision is to foster a library that reflects our diverse community, where students are empowered to think critically and creatively, use technology responsibly, and develop life-long skills through interactive learning. By collaborating with teachers, we aim to extend learning beyond the classroom, inspiring students to make a positive impact in their world.
