K-5 students spend dedicated time in the library each week or stop in for media resources to augment learning. Our librarian creates independent lessons during take-out time and collaborates with other teachers to craft units in the library that complement class work. 

Allan's book-based investigations follow the students' direction, focusing on anything from inventions and historical topics to familiy studies and individuals who made a difference in the world but are little known.

Our Teacher-Librarian Allan Cutler, works daily with students for lessons, browsing and borrowing books. He also organizes a huge book-raiser for the school, the Scholastic Book Fair. Before coming to Stanley, Allan had been a K-5 classroom teacher, technology teacher and librarian in public and private school classrooms in San Francisco and Denver. He's a musician and actor, and loves helping kids find good reads -- holding regular book swaps in the Hambidge Commons to facilitate sharing among the school, families and friends.
