May 2023: Katherine Kauffman Roth, Norwin School District, Norwin High School What is one thing you love about being a school librarian? Just one? I love having the opportunity to work with students one-on-one in order to help them reach their personalized learning goals. And I love getting to nerd out about books with my readers!
April 2023: Shawn Green, Northern Lehigh Area School District, Slatington Elementary and Peters Elementary What is one thing you love about being a school librarian? I love having the opportunity to share literature with my students. I truly believe that the literature I share should represent every student I see. There is nothing greater than to have a student find themselves represented as a character in a book.
February 2023: Elizabeth Doll, Pen Argyl Area School District, Wind Gap Middle School What is one thing you love about being a school librarian? I love meeting with students about books and keeping the joy of reading alive.
January 2023: Lindsey Mason, Wilson School District, Southern Middle School What is one thing you love about being a school librarian? There is so much I love about being a librarian, but the one thing I love most is my relationship with the students. The librarian has the potential to reach every student in their building, having multiple opportunities throughout the year to get to know individuals. The relationships I've formed through those moments have been beneficial for both them and me.
November 2022: Angela Tarr, Fort LeBoeuf School District, Fort LeBoeuf Middle School and Fort LeBoeuf High School What is one thing you love about being a school librarian? Helping students and staff find the resources they need is very rewarding. Seeing a face light up when I connect them to what they are looking for, whether it is an article from a database for an assignment, or a book to read for pleasure, brings me great satisfaction.
October 2022: Marie Mengel, Reading School District, Lauer's Park Elementary and Reading Virtual Academy (grades 2 and 3) What is one thing you love about being a school librarian? One of the most unique and best aspects of an elementary school librarian is the face to face interaction and instruction with every single student in my school. I am able to build relationships with students and families, share quality and diverse children's literature, and teach students Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grades. Librarians play such an important role in a child's social emotional growth; and it is an honor to foster SEL growth with every student.
