Meet the Librarians!

Librarian, Ms. Jeannie Moody: I am thrilled to be a part of the WBE AIA team this year! I have worked in secondary and elementary education for 13 years and have backgrounds in creative writing and journalism. Fort Brown, my collection of short stories and essays about growing up along the US-Mexico border was published in 2012. In my spare time, I write and direct a scripted podcast and make films with my dedicated and brilliant group of actor friends. I am currently pursuing an online certification in film. 

I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in English in 2002. Afterward, I returned to school to pursue two master's degrees: the first was in creative writing from the University of Texas Pan-American and the other in library and information science from Texas Woman's University.  I am a fierce advocate of literature accessibility for children of all ages and neurotypes, and love watching students find themselves in books! My goal is to instill a lifelong love of reading and learning in students and to help prepare them for secondary education and eventually adulthood. 

I truly believe that words are transformative. They hold power and it is my job as an educator to teach students the value of using words to shape both their inner and outer worlds! I am so excited I'll have the opportunity to do this at WBE AIA and am looking forward to an amazing year! 

Library Assistant, Mrs. Tracy LaCaille: I am excited to be starting my 12th year as a Library Assistant in RRISD! I began my journey with RRISD as a parent volunteer in the libraries  at Great Oaks Elementary, Cedar Valley Middle School, and Round Rock High School for about 10 years. In 2012 I began working full time at Wells Branch Elementary. I then moved to Double File Trail Elementary and on to England Elementary. For the 2023-24 school year, I will be at both Wells Branch AIA and England ES. I am so excited to be back with the community at Well Branch AIA. It has always held a special place in my heart. Some things about me - I've been married for 29 years. I have 4 children ages 22-27. I have an old pup named Dr. Crusher and am a huge Pokemon fan. My favorite genres are Sci-fi and Adventure but I love to read them all!
