Hello! & welcome to our school media center!  My name is Eileen Seren, and I have been a part of the Fort Mill School District since 2018.  I am so proud to be a part of Flint Hill Elementary School's family in it's opening year of operation!  I firmly believe that the library is the hub of the school.  In this space, students can explore, learn, and grow as readers and become anything they want to become. I want students to feel safe and welcome and loved when they enter those doors. As the media specialist, I am very passionate about instilling a love of reading and learning through information literacy, to help students develop as readers and grow as humans. 

My adventures in librarianship began many years ago as a passionate child reader with dreams of becoming a published author.  As a parent volunteer I enjoyed reading with students, which evolved into substitute teaching for six years. It was during this time that  I became inspired to become a media specialist.  I received a Master's in Library & Information Science from the University of South Carolina in 2018, and previously received a Bachelor's degree in English from York College of Pennsylvania. 

My family (my husband & three children) and I have called Fort Mill home since 2003.  I believe that teaching is an important way to invest in our community.   Personally, I have always loved academia...always teaching from a place of curiosity and seeing the world through the eyes of my students.  In my opinion, there is no better way to spend a day than with a good book.  I feel privileged and honored to be a part of Flint Hill's inaugural year and to continue in the tradition of excellence in education with the FMSD family.
