Happy Librarian Appreciation Day! Our staff and students are so fortunate to have these two ladies as our District Librarians. Toby Class has been our North Campus Library Media Specialist since the 2017-18 school year. In her current role, she meets daily with elementary classes, conducts multiple book fairs each year, and has recently started the Dolly Parton Imagination Library book gifting program. Jennie Simpson came to the Harrisburg School District during the 2000-01 school year. She taught middle school and high school social studies before transitioning to District Librarian full time in 2007-08. In her current position as the High School Library Media Specialist, she works daily with online dual credit students, has started First Chapter Friday, and takes several high school students to the UCM Literature Festival each year. These are just a few of the many things that Mrs. Class and Mrs. Simpson do for our district. If you see them today, make sure to tell them Happy Librarian Appreciation Day. Thank you ladies for all you do! #BulldawgPride

TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: “Librarians have the power to transform not only individual lives, but entire communities.” - R. David Lankes Today’s featured teacher is Mrs. Toby Class. April is National Library Month and we are incredibly blessed to have such an enthusiastic, innovative, and compassionate teacher librarian leading our Elementary and Middle School library program. Mrs. Class has been an educator at Harrisburg for nine years and has been our Pre-K - 8th grade librarian since 2019. As librarian, Mrs. Class has every single elementary and middle schooler as a student. She meets with classes every day, manages the library collection of print and digital resources, collaborates with teachers on lessons and resource needs, supports students with information literacy projects, and promotes reading and literacy. Fostering access to and a love for reading is paramount to the work of a dedicated librarian and Mrs. Class works tirelessly to provide her students and community with those things. Three times a year she hosts and facilitates book fairs to build excitement for books and self-selected reading. Mrs. Class also initiated the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program in our community. This program provides, free of charge, one book a month to all preschool children and their families. In addition, Mrs. Class has served on multiple school and district committees including the Professional Learning Committee, Principal’s Advisory Committee, and the Technology Committee. A strong library program has a direct impact on the success of our students and school and we are very fortunate to have the talent and skill of Mrs. Class in this role in our district. Thanks you Mrs. Class and Happy National Library Month! #BulldawgPride
