About me
My name is Mrs. Pamela Alleyne. (pronounced A-leen)
I have been a School Media Specialist (Librarian) for TEN years. Being a librarian has been a life-long goal of mine. I love to read and collect books. My primary reading focus is Young Adult books (YA books) because I want to have read the book(s) that I am recommending to you.
Yes, I too am a Viking! I graduated from Atlantic City High School. The class of 1984! I attended Wilberforce University a Historically Black College and University located in Wilberforce, Ohio. I graduated from Thomas Edison State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. I continued my studies at New Jersey City University earning a Masters degree in Educational Technology with a School Media Specialist certification.
I am super excited to be here amongst my Viking family and I can't wait for you to come to the library, so we can talk about one of my favorite topics: READING!
On Fridays, ask me what HBCU shirt I am wearing. In support of all Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) I have a collection of t-shirts that I proudly wear.
My Motto: “We talk. I listen and I learn. And based on that, I recommend a book that you might like."
