Hello, I’m Candice West, a school librarian who is passionate about helping students grow as readers and learners. I earned my Master’s in School Librarianship, where I developed skills in collaboration, information literacy, collection development, and leading a library program.

As a librarian, I strive to create a welcoming and engaging space that supports all students. I see the library as a place where students can explore, research, and think for themselves. I enjoy collaborating with teachers to support classroom learning and create meaningful lessons that connect to the curriculum. I strive to create an inclusive and engaging library environment that supports the diverse academic and personal needs of all learners. I am committed to ensuring that the library collection reflects diverse voices and perspectives, while also supporting digital citizenship and responsible information use.

This portfolio showcases my work as a school librarian, including instructional lessons, literacy initiatives, library programs, and ongoing professional development. It reflects my dedication to continuous growth and my passion for supporting students, staff, and the broader school community through a dynamic and responsive library program.
