      School Librarian

      Carroll High School Librarian (2015-2022); Old Union Elementary School Librarian (2009-2015)As a school librarian, I collaborated with teachers to enhance student learning, created library instructional materials and videos, curated digital and print resources for the school community, maintained and organized the library print and digital collection, maintained the library website and social media pages, used a learning management system (LMS) to communicate library resources and provide instruction to the school community, organized library events and programs, and managed library volunteers. I trained adults and students on technology use, information literacy, research skills, and instructional resources. As an elementary school librarian, I conducted storytimes and lessons on technology and reading.I purchased, processed and cataloged all library materials, conducted regular inventories and managed library circulation. I managed the online library catalog and created and maintain bibliographic and authority records in the online library catalog. I also analyzed data from usage reports to evaluate print and digital resources.I perfected customer service skills as I assisted the school community with technology issues and locating resources. I managed the library budget and adhered to purchasing and receiving policies and procedures as I purchased library reading materials, equipment, technology resources, and supplies. I worked with a variety of library and educational technology vendors. I organized library fundraisers including bookfairs, print book sales, and online book sales through Amazon's affiliate marketing program, Amazon Associates. Extra duties included managing the school's website and sponsoring the student book club. Show less
