Lorraine is the Library Media Specialist at Cantiague and through her dedicated efforts, has helped establish the Library as the Literacy Hub of our school! Students, teachers and parents can be found in the library throughout the day talking about books, asking for guidance on book choices or just listening to a dynamic and engaging read aloud. Her passion is infectious and people just naturally gravitate to the library because of the opportunity to engage with her and learn from her. Furthermore, she has established strong relationships with different authors throughout the country and through those connections helped start our Author's in Residence program, which is amazing! Each grade level has the opportunity to work with a published author in an effort to enhance their writings skills. Lorraine has helped bring in many amazing authors including Patricia Polacco, Suzy Kline, Brian Heinz, Michael Rex, Kathryn Otoshi and Phil Bildner just to name a few. Lorraine is a tremendous resource to the entire school community and her goal is clear - to nurture a love for reading in all of our students!
