About Me

I was born and raised in Nacogdoches, Texas

I have a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science

This is my 8th year teaching in Frisco (high school english, then library!)

I am a hard core Harry Potter fan - Hufflepuff for life!

I have been married for 8 years and we have one Puggle named Max

Take a Look Around

Click on the icons for a tour of the library!


*The Caution tape was for a fun Mystery lesson*

Tables at the Ashley Library can move!


Create a big table for a group project or roll one to a corner for some quiet study time!


Some of our tables are made out of whiteboard - you can write on them with Dry Erase markers.

This is the Everybody Section. Books here have characters, problems, and solutions - just like the Fiction Section!


Books in the Everybody section have more pictures. But don't worry - there are chapter books in here too!

This is the Ashley Library Maker Lab! Here you can explore things you are interested in, create new inventions, or solve a world problem!


You can find supplies of all kinds here -

  • Ozobots
  • Dash Bots
  • Jewelry making supplies
  • Building supplies
  • And MORE!

This is the Non-Fiction section. Books here give you information.


You can find books about animals, science, cars, medicine, crafts, or even UFOs!

This is the Fiction Section. Books here tell a story. They have characters, problems, and solutions (a beginning, middle, and end!)


Fiction books can be found in the tallest bookshelves!

This is the Biography Section. Books here are all about people!


Learn more about your favorite sports star, television star, or inventor.



This is the Graphic Novel Section. Graphic Novels are books told with a mix of words and pictures.


Graphic Novels are fantastic reading because they ask you to use BOTH sides of your brain and to use inferencing skills!

Rub a Dub Dub - we READ in the Tub!

How to Check Books Out!
