Beyond the shelf...
Ms. Cornelio's Corner
Ms. Cornelio's corner is coming to life! Ask her how she built the DIY miniature book nooks. They are so adorable, and they help us dream about far away places as we make it through the long month.
Ravens are Reading!
Sequoia Storytelling Society WANTS YOU!

The DAA and First Line Fridays!

Remember the OLD library?
Before TikTok, there was this!
Ms. Cornelio | Library Assistant
Maria Cornelio oversees the textbook checkouts, and assists with library tasks. Maria has been working at Sequoia since 2014 as an Instructional Aide. She has also been part of the after-school learning center staff for many years. When Maria isn't working, she is spending time with her curious 19-month-old or thrifting with her sister.
Ms. Snow | MLIS
Ms. Snow is in her 9th year at Sequoia, after many years as a classroom teacher (Digital Photography, Journalism, English). You can learn more about her favorite moments in education by visiting her evolving presence in Wakelet. She always has multiple books in the queue, as well as a healthy social media feed.
