Welcome
to the
This is Mrs. Lisa Borden. She's been the Librarian at Mt Hope School for over 25 years. She received her Masters degree in Library & Information Studies from the University of Alabama and a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood & Elementary Education from Athens State College.
As a young child, she loved to browse and explore the books on the shelves in her middle school library. As a student, she loved to sit down on the carpet of the library, where it was always quite and read the Marguerette Henry books. The story about Misty of Chincoteague intrigued and inspired her to read more about her passion, horses.
One of her dreams is to one day attend the Annual Pony Sale on the East coast of Virginia at the Chincoteague Island. Click on the link and read more about this adventure. Her love of the library started that year in middle school. She wishes that all of her students would use their time to enjoy the library and appreciate all of its knowledge and adventures.
Happy Reading!
