In her own words: “Books and the library changed my life. They are the reason I am a librarian today.”
“I am an advocate of the new term ‘private’ education – the movement from teachers teaching students the core to librarians giving the students the tools to learn and teach themselves, so that students take ownership of their learning thereby broadening their own horizon. Modern technology provides them with this possibility.”
In the words of others: “In the library, I am always amazed by the connections she is able to make between technology and classroom instruction. She strives to tie subjects together to enhance the learning experiences for all our students.” Mary Hoffman, Nottingham Elementary parent
