Your school librarian!
My name is Sharyl Burau and I have been a school librarian for close to 20 years. I started in the Chicago Public School system and moved to Michigan in 2004. I worked in the Farmington Hills district for two years before I joined the Ann Arbor Public Schools at Carpenter Elementary (9 years) before coming to Thurston in 2015.
