Meet the Librarian

 My name is Laura Griner.  This is my tenth year as the librarian at Armstrong Elementary.  I love working with all of the students at Armstrong.  We have the best kids!  Before becoming a school librarian, I taught science to seventh graders.  While I enjoyed that immensely, I needed a new adventure.  A girl can only dissect so many frogs and 850 was the magic number for me.  I enjoy reading books and working with students on research projects.   I went back to school at USC to complete my second master's degree in library and information science.  My goal is to support student achievement by working with students and collaborating with teachers to design and implement standards based projects.  I also hope to help each child learn to read for pleasure.  What a great job! I am super blessed to have this opportunity!

    When I am not working, I enjoy reading, travelling and playing pickleball.   I play the cello and am always game to attend musical theater.
