What do you know about the Deuel school librarian and the library? Mrs. Marla Johnson has been here at Deuel since 1966 as a library media specialist.
She does a variety of different activities with the children in elementary, activities such as puppet shows and story time, to even just letting the children know how to keep the library neat and orderly. “I like to do research, read books, and interact with people,” said Mrs. Johnson. The classes she does throughout the day run for 30 minutes for grades K-5. “All of the students enjoy reading magazines, new books, selecting the books, and learning skills for finding information in books.” said Johnson. Middle school and high school students have the option to come into the library and select books whenever they like. Middle school and elementary both are expected to read AR (accelerated reading) books, so she has books listed for AR in the library.
In general, Mrs. Johnson likes to help students find books that interest them, recommend books for teachers to use in the classroom, and answer any questions that students have. “An important thing to know when in the library is how to file cards or withdraw cards in the card catalog,” said Johnson. Without knowing how to correctly take care of the library it wouldn't look the way it does today and if you didn't know a lot about Mrs. Johnson you'd never know how influential she is to the students.
