My name is Missy Beyel, and I am your Teacher Librarian. I am delighted to be working with you and look forward to helping you achieve your learning goals!
I graduated from Clemson with a bachelor's in Early Childhood Education, and later got my master's degree in Library and Information Science from the University of South Carolina. I am my own house divided!
I moved back to Charleston after living in New York for several years, where I was the librarian for a small school district. I established separate Library programs for each school and created and maintained dedicated makerspaces for each library. I am a huge proponent of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education, and am so excited to share that we will have a dedicated "Fab Lab" makerspace area in the CAS library as well! Please come in and check it out - we have a lot of really neat things to offer you, whatever your hobbies and interests may be.
I live with my wonderful husband, my two amazing children, and our two dogs. I enjoy tennis, running, gardening, cooking, and of course, reading! My favorite genres are dystopian and mystery, but I read them all.
