Hi 👋 Welcome to your School Library, it's a Learning Commons! That means, it's a common place where everyone comes for learning. My name is Beth, you should call me Mrs. Wilkie at school. 

I love being outdoors and learning about the natural world so it suits me that our school library is an open and versitale space where silence is impossible and everyone is welcome - just like the outdoors! I've been teaching for as long as I remember and I've been at PES for more than a dozen years. I grew up near Washington D.C., earned a BS in Outdoor Education in Western Kentucky University in the '90's and a Masters Degree in Library Media and Digital Learning Specialist at Plymouth State University more recently. I love to travel!    

The most important part of being in the school library, or the outdoors, is respecting your environment, the living and the non-living. Come see me - whether you're on my regularly scheduled class schedule or not - and we'll find an interest to share. I can be contacted at bwilkie@pemibaker.org, I can help with whatever you need.
