I am delighted to be your Librarian. This is an exciting time for libraries because in addition to books and stories, we literally hold global resources in our pockets through our mobile devices like phones and laptops. Here at Nelson’s School Library, we have a wealth of resources for our students’ learning needs. This includes age appropriate print and digital books, encyclopedias, databases, and credible Web resources. I invite you to stop by the library to meet me and browse our collection.
