About Mrs. Candela

Hello everyone, and welcome to the library! My name is Brittany Candela, and I am the librarian/media coordinator here at Porters Neck Elementary. In my 13 years in education, I’ve taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, and now I get to teach all ages in the library. This is my third year as a librarian, and I just know it’s going to be an amazing one. I graduated from UNCW with a degree in Elementary Education and Spanish, and I’m currently working on my master’s in Library Science at UNC Greensboro.

I love reading aloud to kids and helping kids find books they can’t put down. There is nothing better than seeing someone’s face light up when they discover a story they love. 

Here are a few of my favorite things:

• reading (duh!) 📖

• My family and pup 🐕‍🦺

• scrapbooking 📸

• traveling with my family (especially National Parks!) 🥾

• All things Peanuts and Snoopy

• the color orange 🧡
