About Mrs. Duckett

Welcome to my page! I'm so glad you're here! 

I've been teaching and in education for over 20 years!.  

I am an avid reader. I do share some of my favorites on the "Book Recommendations" page and if you come in the library you can see all the books I've read for the year right in front of my desk (it's the giant wall of book covers). If it's been on Booktok, I've probably read it or heard of it. I also work on the Gateway Readers Award committee so if you don't know where to start, start with those! We work hard to pick the best of the best in YA fiction for you! I'm also always so happy to take you around and show you books, it's my favorite. 

Outside of reading, I love plants. I have quite the indoor garden, plus also the outside garden(s).  There's a lot to love about plants and flowers. I'm always happy to talk shop and give away cuttings (when it's time to cut!) so don't be afraid to ask!
