She helps bring the books to life through the experiences she creates for students. Because to her, the library is more than just a place for books. She recently invited the Metro Nashville Police Department’s Horse Mounted Patrol Unit to visit, and her students loved meeting the horses. For example, she had a camping theme in the fall with comfy chairs and a tent set around a fake campfire as well as a display of objects one might discover while hiking. Every time I visit her school, there is something new to see and experience. She absolutely delights in her space and makes the library an interactive place to be.
