Meet Your Librarian

Madeline Crawford

Hello! My name is Madeline Crawford, and I am to be your librarian this year. I have been a teacher for 20 years, a Librarian for 7 years and reading is one of my passions. I am so excited to share so many books, reading celebrations, and makerspace opportunities and S.T.E.A.M. projects with you. I have 4 blessed children, Kerry 25, Kourtney 25, David Jr. 20, and Kaylor 17. I also have 3 fur babies who are 3 dogs named, Zeke, Rosie, and Moose.

A little about me is that I love to travel, study about the Cristian Faith, reading, watching TikTok, and being with friends and family. My favorite non-fiction book is The Bible, and my Favorite fiction book is the Dork Diary Series.

I can't wait to meet you and get to know you and your family.

Grade 3-5 can check out up to 3 books. Please help your child remember to bring their library books to and from school. If a student does not have books on their library day, they will not be allowed to check out new books until they return them. All damaged books will have a fine.

Book Care

Clean your hands

clean hands = clean books

Hug your book

Hugging your book keeps you from dropping it.

Keep your book

When books are left on the floor, they can be stepped on or pets can mistake them for a chew toy.

Be careful

Remember, your pages are made of paper and will tear if you are turning them roughly.

Put your book back

Remember to return your books each week to the library.

Hold your books

Holding your book with two hands help you turn the pages gently and keeps the book from falling.

Keep your book dry

Books and water do not go together. Keep your books out of the rain, bathtubs, and away from drinks.

Use a bookmark

Do not fold the pages of your book to mark your spot. If you need a bookmark, please come and ask for one in the library.
