:Meet the Librarian:
Hi and welcome! My name is Ashley Bianchini and I am the Van Allen Elementary Librarian. I love coming to work each day and making magic happen in the library. I want to help kids fall in love with reading and also create a safe place for all of our students.
Van Allen students are motivated to read using the Accelerated Reader program (AR). By reading books within their independent reading level, they earn points by taking AR quizzes. These points accumulate throughout the school year and students earn incentives and awards simply by participating their reading.
