About your library media specialist:
Mrs. Williams has been the media specialist for thirteen years! As a fifth grader, her favorite book was When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit! It was one of the first books she looked for when she moved into the media center! We have it! :) Most recently, she has read and loved a number of the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl books! She encourages you to read some of them, too! They are Georgia Book Award titles!
Her favorite candy is Skittles, and milk chocolate with almonds. She loves Diet Coke. Auburn University is her favorite college. WAR EAGLE!

1. I believe every child is entitled to a choice of abundant selections.
2. I believe a child is never too old to be read to.
3. I believe every child needs to be exposed to a variety of genre.
4. I believe reading must be fostered and mastered because reading is the key to all other learning.
5. I believe the regular practice of reading leads to strong reading skills that are crucial for a lifetime of enjoyment and accomplishment.
6. I believe fostering the love of reading is a gift of incalculable worth and is as important as teaching the skill of reading.
7. I believe reading for pleasure with no restrictions, limitations, or requirements establishes a rewarding habit that lasts a lifetime.
