Hello! My name is Dahnya Garcia-Giampietro and I am the Librarian at Harvard. 

I graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a Bachelor’s in Political Science and Philosophy. After bustling around Houston City Hall for three years as an aide to the mayor, I realized my calling was in education and worked diligently to earn a teaching certification. 

I am now entering my 18th year as an educator! I have taught 2nd through 5th grade in both a regular classroom setting as well as dual language. This year will be my ninth at Harvard and my eighth in the library.

Outside of the library you will find me hanging out with my husband, daughter, and pup. I love exploring new places and reading. I especially love getting lost in a bookstore, coffee in hand and adding to my never-ending stack of books.
