About Your Media Specialist:
Hello!My name is Anna Smith. I will be the new librarian this year. Some of you may already know me from my time in STEAM! I am committed to making this a great school year for all of the Bulldogs who visit the Media Center! I am not only the librarian but also the Broadcast Director, Webmaster, and Battle of The Books Coach.
A little about me: I was born and raised in Johnston County. I am a graduate of East Carolina University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Middle Grades Education with an added licensure in Elementary Education.I am currently working on my Master’s in Library Science at East Carolina University. I am very excited about continuing my journey at Princeton Elementary School! I am eager to continue getting to know each and every student in our school! In the library, we focus on many skills such as research skills, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking I hope to make the library an exciting and memorable place for all students to visit. Everyone has unique talents and strengths that will be appreciated and utilized in our library.
