All About Me

Welcome to the St. Thomas the Apostle Elementary Library! I am Mrs. LeBlanc and am so excited to be your librarian this year.  Together I hope we will foster a love of the written word. Library class will feature wonderful stories, engaging activities, and fun brain breaks that will enhance our reading journeys.  

This will be my 3rd year as a library educator.  My lifetime love of reading and writing brought me from a Catholic publisher in Boston to nearly a decade serving youth at public and school libraries in Connecticut.  I hold an MFA in Writing for Children from Simmons University and have prior experience tutoring teens in the craft of writing. My family and I are parishioners at St. Teresa of Calcutta in Manchester.  I look forward to reading and writing with you this year!

My favorite books include Bunnies on a Boat by Philip Ardagh, The Elephant & Piggie series by Mo Willems, The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo, and Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery.
