Mrs. Coy, our school library associate, got a job working as a 1 on 1 and thought it would be cool to work as a librarian. She said it’s really busy because there’s a lot of different activities she has to tend to.She likes discussing books that I have read to get them excited. She wanted to be a teacher.It works well with having children so she can spend time with them. She sees herself working at the school library because it will work well with her schedule. She needs patients and lot’s of it. Sometime she can be lenient and when it gets too loud and it's hard balancing where she’s needed at the right time. She loves her job. Stop down to see Mrs. Coy.
