Hello everyone! My name is Frances but everyone calls me “Frankie”. I was born and raised near San Diego, California in the United States. I will be the new School Wide Librarian and I am very excited to develop and expand the current library and research curriculum. I started in education as a 4th grade Teacher in Texas, then earned my Masters Degree in Library & Information Science from the University of Houston. I have been a School Librarian for 17 years at all three school levels. I have worked internationally in Jeju, South Korea and Munich, Germany. Most recently, I worked for Mann Library at Cornell University in New York while spending time with my daughter who is in graduate school studying dairy cows. I love to scuba dive, golf, swim, water ski, snow ski, play various sports, travel and read, of course! .
