Meet the Librarian

About Mrs. Anding

Mrs. Anding has been the Glen Oaks High librarian since the 2013-2014 school year. She wears a variety of hats at the school and is, among other things, the school's librarian, textbook manager, site technology facilitator, property control manager, and the administrator of most online educational platforms that the school uses. On any given day you can see her quickly moving throughout the school and the library in her trademark tennis shoes. Please be on the lookout for her cell phone! She looses it at least once a day.

Professional Badges
