Kennady is a dedicated and passionate librarian here at Lively Middle School with years of experience serving diverse student communities across a range of educational settings. A graduate from St. Edward's University with a focus in Media Literacy and Communication, she is always looking to enrich the education of the students she is honored to serve.

At the core of her work is a strong sense of care and empathy. She is committed to creating an inclusive library environment where every child feels acknowledged, valued, and represented, with the priority being that each child's unique experiences and identities are reflected within the library's collection.

She believes that books are powerful gateways to self-discovery, understanding, and personal growth. For Kennady, the library is more than just a place to find information; it is a sacred space that offers both quiet refuge and dynamic opportunities for connection, curiosity, and exploration.

Kennady thoughtfully cultivates a safe, engaging environment where students feel free to explore, grow, and extend their learning beyond the page. Through compassionate collaboration with teachers and a strong understanding of their needs, she provides meaningful resources and immersive programming, ranging from guest speakers and seminars to hands-on experiences, ensuring the library remains a dynamic, supportive hub for the entire school community.

Above all, Kennady nurtures an environment where students feel confident, comfortable, and capable. She encourages them not only to pursue academic success but also to develop the self-awareness and courage needed to navigate the world beyond the classroom with a sense of purpose and belonging.
