Who I am

I am an elementary librarian.  I have 600 students from Kindergarten thru 5th grade.  I see each class once a week so I stay very busy.  I really do love my job, but it does get very frustrating.  I decided to start this blog as a way to remember those little moments that make it all worthwhile.  (Frankly, I'm getting older and senile and can't really remember them!) 

As I start this blog I am about to start my 6th year as the librarian of our local elementary school.  I spent 2 years teaching 4th grade prior to that and know that I definitely needed to be moved to the library.  The town I live in is small and has a population of about 3,000 people.  There is only one school, so everyone's children will pass thru my library at some point.  My own children attend the same school.  My son is 15 and about to enter 10th grade and my daughter is 10 and going into the 5th grade.  This will be the last year that she will be at the same school with me.  It makes me sad to think about that because we started at this school together.  She started kindergarten the same year I took over the library.  This will be our last year together!

As you read this blog I hope you can see what I love about my job.  Kids are funny!  Even when their not trying to be.
