17-18 Library Intro and Procedures.pdf
Welcome to the Library!
My name is Kristina Boutilier and I am so excited to be the teacher-librarian for the 2017-2018 school year. I have been teaching for 7 years. This is my second year as a teacher-librarian.
As the teacher-librarian, I am responsible for the school library program, collection, and facility. In addition, I collaborate, plan and teach with teachers, work with students, and help to create 21st century learners who are transliterate.
The library program has some exciting opportunities in store for your child this year:
- One of my goals for your children is to instill a love of reading! Whether they are light readers or completely obsessed, our library program will encourage them to read more and broaden the scope of their reading.
- I will help students inquire, evaluate, create, and share as respectful and responsible digital citizens.
- I will be working with classroom teachers to help them find materials especially suited to the individual interests and abilities of your child.
If you would like to volunteer to help in the library, please let me know. I’d love to have you! Even 15-30 minutes a week can help. Please email me at k.boutilier@rcsd.ca.
I look forward to meeting you are some of the events that will take place in the library such as, literacy nights, a book fair, and literacy initiatives. I am committed to making the library one of your child’s favorite place in the school!
Mrs. Kristina Boutilier
