Who Are We?

Get to Know the Library Staff

 

Dr. Ward, Librarian

Hi, I’m Dr. Ward, the high school librarian. I like to read anything YA, but mostly realistic fiction and historical fiction. I do like fantasy and sci-fi, but let’s keep that a secret. I’m the girls wrestling coach and assistant coach for both the girls and boys tennis teams, and I’m the faculty sponsor for the FC Book Club and the Shelf Care Club.

When I’m not on the tennis court or in the wrestling room, I can be found shuttling my twin sons from activity to activity.
 

Mrs. Ryan, Library Clerk

Mrs. Ryan may be known as the only sophisticated reader in the library, but she secretly loves a good People magazine.

Mrs. Ryan can often be found flipping through periodicals, always on the lookout for new sources for research projects, or rereading the Legends of Ireland while sipping tea from one of her many fox mugs.

Mrs. Ryan takes pride in her collection of fox-themed, well, everything. Dr. Ward is trying to convince her to switch to panda collecting, but that day will come when a lay person can give a summary of War and Peace without the help of SparkNotes.
 

Sophie

Hey, I'm Sophie! I’m a senior this year and also one of the co-presidents of the Book Club, along with being in the library QRT, and working in the library! I enjoy reading (duh!), baking, playing video games, skiing, and creeking! I love reptiles and would love to go into herpetology. My favorite book is Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, and I’m a big fan of historical fiction. I’m also the awesomest member of the book club.
 

Alaina

Hi, my name is Alaina! I'm a senior in the library QRT and co-president of Book Club. Outside of school, I like reading (obviously), volleyball, and art. I'm also in Bookworm Buddies, NHS, and TSA! My favorite genres to read are mystery, fantasy, and thrillers (but I'm always trying to broaden my horizons). I'm so excited for another great year!
 

Bella

Hi, everyone! I'm Bella and a senior this year! Among my many hobbies, I like to bake, travel, and play tennis. My pets may be my whole personality though ... I have a tortoise named Romeo and two very fluffy dogs named Winnie and Bouffi. Since I do live in the library in the morning, I should probably talk about books a bit. My favorite books to read are always romance or mystery. One of my favorite books is The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert. I hope to see many new faces in the library this year! 
 

Bree

Hi, I'm Aubrielle, aka Bree! I'm a sophomore this year and a member of the library QRT! I love anything artistic, I play guitar, am a member of our school concert choir here and a member of the Notations (an out of school choir) and take art classes. I love to read. My favorite book genres are romance and mystery, but I secretly have a love for the classics, such as The Picture of Dorian Grey and The Odyssey! My favorite books of all time are Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid and The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
 

Caden

Hi, everyone, I'm Caden and a senior this year! I like to play basketball and golf.  I’m in a bunch of clubs, but Book Club and Shelf Care are my favorite because they are in the library. My favorite book is The Great Gatsby but I also love the Harry Potter series.  In the summer I’m a lumberjack, but I hope to study business in college next year.
 

Umayma

Hi! My name is Umayma, and I am a junior in the Library QRT. I enjoy playing tennis, journaling, and baking, but when I'm not doing any of those activities, I love to read all genres of books. I hate scary movies, but somehow I find true crime really interesting and my favorite book is The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides!
 

Francesca

Hi! My name is Francesca, and I am a senior! I have been a member of the Book Club for a while and am so excited to be here! I was a varsity member of the crew team until I quit last Friday (hashtag laugh out loud). I am the co-president and founder of the Bookworm Buddies, and the VP of the Children of Steel. I am so excited to have a great school year!
