About Ms. Darling

My Story

I've been in love with books and libraries since before I can remember, spending weekly visits to the Ann Arbor District Library - West Branch to listen to stories read by my favorite librarian (it was much smaller then!)  At the time, the checkout limit was six books, and I took home exactly six books, every week. In high school I landed my dream job working at Nicola's Books (then Little Professor).  Becoming a librarian was an even bigger dream come true.

My passion for technology and makerspace equals my passion for books. I love learning about how to develop, build and make - whether it's podcasting, 3D printing or crafting. I also love sharing what I learn with students and colleagues; in the classroom, with colleagues at school, or at professional conferences. My passion for sharing even translated into a published book! My greatest hope is to inspire your students and help them - using books and technology - discover their own passions.
