Casey Library Media Center
Why is the library important?
The school library media center is the heart of the school. It is the perfect place for children (and adults!) to learn about different genres of literature along with a wide variety of other educational resources including technology and research skills. Austin ISD employs a full time librarian at each one of its school because the school Librarian (or Library Media Specialist) is a critical resource to support and extend learning beyond the walls of the classroom.
Our Goal
As an elementary school student I believed that my school library was magical! My school Librarian read the most wonderful and interesting stories to us during our class visits to the library. She introduced us to characters and lessons that helped shape us as we grew into young adults. I have carried that love of the library and library books with me throughout my life. It is my goal to share this experience with my students so that they too believe the library is magical. I plan on using fun, innovative, and imaginative library lessons so that everyone enjoys visiting the Casey Library Media Center. It is our hope that they become life-long readers and learners and that they use the library throughout their educational careers.
