Hello everyone!

My name is Patty Augoustatos and I am thrilled to be your new Cross Oaks Elementary Librarian! This is my first year as a school librarian, but I worked at a public library for three years before coming back "home" to education. Prior to the library, I was a classroom teacher and then transitioned to a Gifted and Talented teacher. I have learned so much in every position I have had the pleasure of working in and look forward to bringing that knowledge with me while learning more about the school library.

I love spending time with my family, playing board games, crafting, traveling and reading. I consider myself a life-long learner and enjoy finding new hobbies and activities to add to my growing list of things I'd like to try to do. While working at the public library, I learned to crochet, sew a dress from a pattern, make wreaths, build websites and paint rocks. I love to teach others what I've learned too!

I can not wait to meet and serve all of the students, teachers and families here at Cross Oaks Elementary. If I can be of service to you, please do not hesitate to reach out.
