We will be exploring various genres this year including Folktales, Multicultural Cinderella Tales, exploring code.org, butterflies and so much more. The library is a magical place.

Information Specialist

Hi. My name is Mrs. Ostroff. I am a Media Specialist and Elementary Ed teacher. I have an MLS in Library and Information Science from the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!) and a Bachelors in Elementary Education from Florida Atlantic University (Go Owls!). I have worked for Broward Schools, Broward County Library in Youth Services as well as an academic library. I love nature photography and hiking in the Everglades in my spare time. I am a collector of Engineered "pop-up" books. I am happiest when I see my students learning new concepts and learning how to navigate online resources.
