Hello, I am Tonette Carroll, the Media Center Specialist at the Beebe School. With over two decades of experience as an educator and a passion for fostering a love of reading, I strive to make the media center a welcoming hub for learning, discovery, and creativity. My mission is to connect students, teachers, and families with resources that spark curiosity, support literacy growth, and build lifelong learning skills. From guiding students through engaging stories to integrating technology that enhances instruction, I am dedicated to ensuring our media center is the heart of our school community.
I'm Maureen DiNapoli and I'm the Media Center Specialist for the Linden STEAM Academy! I'm originally from West Haven, CT., went to Emmanuel College in Boston and then decided to stay around the area. I received my J.D (that stands for "Juris Doctor" a law degree!) from Suffolk Law School and am now attending Wayne State University for my Masters in Library and Information Science.
My favorite book is Corduroy. In my off time--when I'm not reading that is--I'm usually hiking with my husband and our pup, Harbor. I love leaf peeping, all kinds of books no matter the format, and my nieces and nephew who made me realize education was where I need to be. I'm very excited to be apart of the Malden community.
Hi there! My name is Lillian Wong and I am the Media Center Specialist at the Forestdale School. Although this is my third year working in the Malden Public Schools system, I was a student in Malden starting in Kindergarten all the way to graduating from Malden High School. It's truly a privilege to work with the students in our special community and I'm proud to represent the Forestdale Falcons!
Hi, I'm Sandy O'Connell and I am the Media Center Specialist for the Ferryway School. This is my third year in Malden, and I spent 11 years in North Reading as the librarian at a K-5 school. I went to Michigan State University for my undergraduate degree in Marketing. Then I received my master's degree from Lesley University in Elementary Education. I have a Massachusetts license in Elementary Ed 1-6, Digital Literacy/Computer Science PreK-6 and Library all levels.
I am proud to be a part of Malden Public Schools and honored to work with all the awesome students at Ferryway.
