Meet the Librarian

What Does a Librarian Do?

School librarians plays a vital role in fostering a love of reading and learning:

• Curates and Manages Collections: Selects, organizes, and maintains a diverse collection of books, digital resources, and other materials that support the curriculum and student interests.

• Teaches Information Literacy: Guides students in finding, evaluating, and ethically using information for research and learning.

• Promotes Reading: Develops and implements programs, events, and activities to encourage reading for pleasure and lifelong learning.

• Supports Technology Integration: Helps students and teachers effectively use technology tools and resources available in the library and beyond.

• Collaborates with Teachers: Works with classroom teachers to integrate library resources and skills into classroom lessons and projects.

• Fosters a Welcoming Environment: Creates an inclusive and engaging space where all students feel comfortable exploring, learning, and collaborating.

 

Evan Dewar M.Ed

I began teaching in 2006 and found my calling. I’ve taught Pre-K-1st, and I love everything about early childhood! However, I always loved being in the library, and knew that my path would eventually lead there. There is nothing more powerful than unlocking a love of reading in children, and that is the main goal of the library.
