Library Media Specialist
My name is Alyssa Osani and I am 33-year-old Port Allegany Alumni!
I graduated from Port Allegany High School in 2010 after attending school in the district for my whole learning career. I continued to further my education at Clarion University (now PennWest University) where I graduated with my Bachelor's in Library Science PreK-12 in 2014. That following fall I was hired as the elementary librarian at George. G. Blaisdell Elementary School and I worked there for nine years. In 2023, I applied for the Librarian Position at Port Allegany Elementary School and was so happy to be offered the job!
When your child visits the library for specials, I worked hard to present them with a vast array of literature to enjoy and comprehend. I greatly enjoy reading books to students and getting them to think about the text as well as simply listening for the joy of the story. I take great joy in guiding the students as we experiment with different technology tools together from various applications and websites to learning how to surf the web safely and efficiently.
I love working in the town I grew up in and providing wonderful stories to all the students of PAES!
