Librarian Smith
Hopes and Dreams
As I embrace another school year as the librarian at Hamilton K-8 School, I hope to fulfill my purpose of instilling in students a love for reading and a desire for gaining knowledge through literature and information research. Achieving these goals require that I implement an instructional program that will allow students to successfully read and creatively and critically respond to literature on classroom-related and self-interest topics. Beyond the library doors, I will incorporate the following activities into the library program: hosting book fairs, a bookmark design contest, and a reading challenge; implementing reading incentives; and celebrating national library events (e.g. Read for the Record, Read Across America, and Library Week). As I journey through the school days ahead, my mission will always be to prepare students for success and a better future by helping them become avid readers.
