Meet Mrs. Cook

RETURN TO STAFF

I’m not your mother’s librarian! My name is Amy Cook and I LOVE being the Library Teacher at Canyon View! In my youth (last week) I was a graduate of Eastern Washington University with a Recreation Major. I worked at Tri-City Court Club and Columbia Basin Racquet Club and I loved it! After I became a mom (my favorite job!), I earned my Masters in Teaching through Washington State University (Go Cougs!) I then went to Central Washington University for my Library Endorsement and … here I am! My favorite part of my job, beside the kids (which I love!) is helping them find that book that just fires up the reading embers! It gives me goose bumps when kids get excited about a book! We also try to research different things - one year it was the ocean, then ancient Egypt and Medieval Europe. Something new is always going on! Another way kids get revved up about reading is the 4^th and 5^th grade “Battle of the Books” (BOB)…It has the excitement of a football game – but in the library! Join us in the spring for that! Other things you will find in the library – besides books (which I love!) are critter, library/zoologist helpers, Mrs. Bentrup (who loves the critters!), the Accelerated Reader program and hopefully a warm feeling of welcome! Feel free to contact me at amy.cook@ksd.org if you have any questions! Read On!
