About Me




I am a midle school librarian in Texas, previously an elementary librarian, a mom of 2 children, and a wife to a fireman. Before being in the library, I was a classroom teacher for 16 years. I have experience in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades.  This blog will be a collection of ideas I use in the library, book reviews, and will keep the parents up-to-date with happenings at our school and in the library.

This is a hard book to review..... I won't bore you with a summary because you can read that above from Goodreads. I will start off first by saying, if this book were written for an older audience, I would have given it more stars. Unfor...

The Giver
by Lois Lowry
This book is very thought provoking and makes you look at the way the world works. It makes you wonder what the future will be like. I recommend this for 5th grades and up due to the maturity level of the topic.
