We are so incredibly excited and thrilled to have you join us. My name is Dacel Casey and I am the Head/Research Librarian. Along with Ms. Amina, Ms. Bouchra, and Mr. Lachen we want organize and manage the GWA Library.
A little about me:
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I graduated college with a B.A. in English and Communications and hold a M.Ed in Instrutional Technology and M.S. in Library Science. I worked in a variety of places from Chicago to Washington D.C. to London and New York, and now here in Casablanca. I have been a Primary School Librarian and, for the last 16 years, a Middle and Upper School Librarian. Along with a love of travel and hanging out with cats, I have a strong devotion to reading. My favorite genres include realistic and historical fiction, and lately, fantasy. I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and expertise with the GWA community as well as learning all that GWA and Casablanca has to offer.
Welcome to our library and please let us know how we can bes assist you!
The GWA Library Team
My name is Amina Cherrat. I started working at GWA on August 1999. I am the French and Arabic librarian. What I like most about my job is to share book stories with kids and help them grow the love for reading. My goal for the library is to offer a large array of French and Arabic resources to meet students, teachers, and parents needs. We would like for our students to be eloquent in the three languages which will help them become competent in Morocco and abroad.
My name is Lahcen Ilahiane. I am the loan desk coordinator. I started working at GWA IN 2010. I have always enjoyed helping students, teachers, and parents to find the books they are looking for, either in Destiny or on the shelves. I also make sure that the record of the collection is properly maintained for easy access.
My name is Bouchra Bouchachia. I am the library assistant. I make sure that the books are properly shelved and well maintained. It has always been a pleasure working with such a great community!
