Experience

Made for Library Learning is the place to be for library lessons, guides, enrichment activities, centers, setup and maintenance resources for an elementary school library. With 35 years of teaching and librarian experience, I have developed primary-friendly, tried and true library curriculum that is flexible enough for whatever your school demands. These resources foster student independence resulting in a positive climate for growing life-long learners.

Teaching style

Although I am now retired, my goal as a teacher/librarian was to create an atmosphere that welcomed students and teachers for browsing, researching, reading, studying and just absorbing the love of books. As libraries changed over the years, computer literacy and research took on a larger role in library visits. Foundations are built in the library for the entire student body requiring the need for a wide variety of standards-based resources while maintaining the joy of reading.

My own education history

I have a bachelors degree in elementary education, a masters degree in curriculum and instruction and an additional library certification for Pre-K-12 school libraries from the University of Texas in Austin.
