Check It Out

  • All students are able to check out books as long as they return them on time and undamaged.

  • K-1 Grade students may check out 1 book after we learn basic book care. Some kindergarten teachers will allow students keeping the books in class instead of sending them home. 

  • Second Grade students may check out 2 books.

  • Third-Fifth Grade students may check out 2-3 books.

  • Books are due back after 2 weeks. 

  • You can renew chapter books for an additional week as long as your others books are returned and no one else is waiting to read the book.

  • If you damage or lose a book, please be honest. We will work with you.

We have a fixed schedule, so I will see each class every week unless there is a holiday or a weather energency.  

We will...

  • Read!

  • Share books and ideas with friends.

  • Learn how to find books in a library.

  • Learn about different kinds of technology and research skills.

  • Learn Digital Citizenship skills to be smart and safe online.

Before I became the librarian at Pinecrest Elementary School, I taught grades 1-3 for 14 years in two different states. I am originally from Ohio, lived in Savannah, Georgia for 7 years and then moved to Greenwood, South Carolina in 2013. I met and married my husband, David, while living in Savannah. We have two sons who will both be Pinecrest Panthers. We share our home with Vera the cat and George (Weasley) the red-eared slider turtle. 

 One of my favorite parts about being a teacher was when I introduced students to great books. Now I am able to do that with the whole school! I also love working with technology to enhance learning for both teachers and students. Aside from my interests in books and technology, I also love music, Legos, being crafty, and spending time with my family.
