About

Welcome to the St. Johnsbury School's Library Learning Commons!

What's with the new name? We offer so much more than a traditional library, so we want our name to reflect that.  In addition to a wide variety of books & digital resources, we offer options for community members to explore their diverse interests and engage their curiosity.  We offer games, 3D printing, Cricut designs, button making, tinker options in our ever expanding Makerspace and much more!  Please contact a librarian if you would like help with a school project or personal interest. 

Meet the Library Media Specialists!

She loves to make things, read, and drink coffee.  

Mrs. Christine Owens (4th - 8th grades)

After wearing many hats at the St. Johnsbury School, Mrs. Owens  has achieved her life-long dream to become a librarian.

Almost 10 years ago, she taught here as a  7th & 8th Grade Humanities Teacher.  She also has a Master's degree in Liberal Studies from Dartmouth College and a BA from UCONN.  In her free time, she enjoys her family and creative, crafty projects.
