Hello from, Mrs. Schauer!  I love being the librarian for the sixth through twelfth grade campus in Pettus!  I love reading and hope to spread my love of books and learning to everyone who walks though my doors.  If you have trouble picking out a book, ask me for a recommendation--I have plenty of them!  Don't be frightened if I ask you lots of questions--how can I recommend a book if I don't know YOU?

My motto is "Every single book is not appropriate for every single person, but there IS a book out there that I guarantee you'll love--we just have to find it!

I hope that when you visit the library you will quickly realize that it's not a "typical" library, in that it's seldom quiet--unless a class is working in here.  I believe that the library should be a place to connect with books and people.  The best way to connect to a book is by TALKING about the book. Plus, if I get to know you, I'll know what to recommend to you. 

If there is a specific book you would like for me to order for our collection, ASK ME!!
