About Me
My name is Hayley Armstrong, and I have worked in education since 2017. I hold a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in Elementary Education, as well as a master's degree in Library and Information Studies. I love to read and travel with my husband, Zach.
As a school librarian, I remain informed about current trends and developments in education through ongoing professional learning. I engage with professional news sources, attend conferences, and collaborate with teachers to stay aligned with curriculum goals and student interests. This allows me to curate a library collection that reflects diverse perspectives, supports classroom instruction, and meets the evolving needs and interests of all students.
