I'm Mrs. Molnar and this is my 8th year at Brookside and my 10th year as a Library Media Specialist. Before becoming a LMS, I was a Children's Librarian in a public library. I love to read and am passionate about getting students connected to books that they will love and introducing them to technology tools and online citizenship. I love to be on the go and outside. I live with my family on a small (hobby) farm outside of the city.
Our library curriculum is based on Ohio Department of Educations Standards for Library, Common Core/ELA Standards, ISTE Technology Standards and district-adopted programs. Lessons will depend on the child's grade level.
