My name is Melissa Behm, and I am blessed to serve as the Librarian at Our Lady.
I hold a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science and a Bachelor of Science in Library Science from Clarion University of Pennsylvania, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and Literature from Juniata College.
I truly love serving our school community and consider it a privilege to support our students’ growth. My goal is to cultivate a library that is the heart of our Catholic school—a welcoming space where students collaborate, explore their interests, develop a lifelong love of reading, and grow in wisdom, creativity, and critical thinking.
The library supports not only academic excellence and 21st-century skills, but also the social, emotional, and moral development of each child in light of our Catholic faith.
I am equally committed to supporting our teachers by providing meaningful resources, instructional support, and technological tools to enhance their daily work and educational mission.
Please visit this website regularly for library news, events, and updates, and know that I value open communication with students, parents, and faculty.
I look forward to partnering with you to nurture a vibrant, faith-filled learning community.
