About Your Librarian
I have been teaching for 16 years and have taught in grades PK - 4, all in SAISD. This is my first year as a librarian. My dream for the Hot Wells Library Program is to provide resources and services that empower teachers and students to become innovative thinkers, skillful researchers, and effective and ethical users/producers of information sources.
