Welcome to Library Assistant Ms. Gaulin!

Hello everyone! I am Alana (she/her) and I’m originally from Pacifica, CA! It’s a beach town on the coast, about 10 miles south of San Francisco, famous for the dog surfing competition and the Taco Bell on the sand.
I moved to WA with my partner and golden retriever almost 2 years ago and am close to being done with my Masters in Library Science from UW. If you ask me about Winnie the Pooh, Disney, or Kelly Clarkson, I will have way too much information to share. I am super excited to be here at Ballard; come say hi!

April School Library Month

April is School Library Month, highlighting the valuable roles librarians play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities. The district Celebrating School Librarians page recently shared a well-deserved compliment for Teacher-Librarian TuesD Chambers! “So happy to have so many staff members in the library encouraging students to use the resources,” she said. “We are very lucky to have our entire community there to work together in the space, building community.” ~ Ms. Chambers

Poetry Title List
Ms. Chambers has also put together a collection of 101 poetry titles in the library catalog “Please join with us in reading and reflecting on these powerful works of art as we take the time to celebrate words and phrases that shift our thinking and move our spirit.”
Check this Out from April & Watch for May!

March Women’s History Month

In honor of Women’s History Month and March 8 International Women’s Day: Every year on 8 March, International Women’s Day is celebrated to commemorate and honor women’s accomplishments, raise awareness about gender disparities and discrimination, as well as promote global support for women. Check out suggestions from Ms. Chambers’ curated Strong Female Leads and Real-Life Strong Women book collections on ballardlibrary.
March National Reading Month

Did you know March is National Reading Month? And studies show that just like going for a run exercises your cardiovascular system, reading regularly improves memory function by giving your brain a good workout. So set aside some time to put down those devices and read as a family!
Parent/Guardian Volunteers also help our busy library continue to thrive, so please reach out to Ms. Chambers at tschambers@seattleschools.org if you want to learn more about supporting literacy at Ballard High School.
