Shelli Ann currently works as a Librarian/Media Specialist for both a primary and elementary school in Texas. She began her library career working in a public library and moved to teaching for two years at a private school before returning to college to become a school librarian where she has been for the past 6 years. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing poetry, photography & spending time outdoors. Key Takeaways: * School libraries should be hubs for school activity.
