Ms. Carlton is the Library Media Specialist at Jan Jones Blackhurst Elementary. She grew up, in Las Vegas, loving books from a very early age, especially children's books. Her love of literature followed her into education, where she taught in the classroom for 7 years, aspiring to instill her passion for reading to her students on a daily basis. As the librarian, she hopes that she can make her passion for reading contagious to all students at JJBES!
