About UsI have been the school librarian at PS 287 for the past year, but I have worked as a librarian for the past 10 years at a previous school. I became NYS certified and received my professional certificate in 2017.
As the school librarian, I am responsible for guiding our students through the process of being able to choose a just right book, use the internet responsibly, and be able to be independent, responsible students. Mrs. Johnson Ms. Martino is the library assistant that works diligently with the students and has the best interest of the child at heart. She is bi-lingual and an excellent videographer. She makes a wonderful addition to the library. |
