Librarian
Avona and Wilson Borough Elementary

I graduated from Lebanon Valley College with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and recently received my professional certificate as a Library Media Specialist. I have lived in Williams Township for over 30 years with my husband. We have two sons who both graduated from Wilson Area High School and are now living in Florida and New Mexico.
When I'm not teaching in the library, I like to travel to visit friends and family and to experience new places and cultures here and abroad. I also like to go biking, hiking and skiing with my husband and friends. I am not always on the go, though. When I'm home, I like to garden and read.
My favorite picture book is "Owl Moon" by Jane Yolen.
	My favorite chapter book is "Pictures of Hollis Woods" by Patricia Reilly Giff.
My favorite quote is: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." (Dr. Seuss)

        Williams Township Elementary

I graduated from Moravian College with a Bachleor's Degree. I majored in Elementary Education and minored in Music. I also graduated from Kutztown University with a Master's Degree in Library Science. I currently live in Allentown with my husband, who is a music teacher, and our 4 cats: Taylor, Winston, Baby and Rascall.
When I'm not teaching, I work in a public library. In my free time, I enjoy attending minor league baseball games and my husband's concerts.
My favorite picture book is "The Remarkable Farkle McBride" by John Lithgow.
	My favorite chapter book is "Tuck Everlasting" by Natalie Babbitt.
The most influential person in my life is my former music teacher from elementary school. I have known him for over 34 years. He has taught me SO many things over the years, but mostly to not give up. My husband is my inspiration, because he shows such motivation and determination in all aspects of his life. He is also very supportive and devoted to his students , family, and friends. My favorite quote is: "One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had, nor what my clothes were like, but the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child" (Unknown)

I graduated in 1998 from Northampton Area Community College with an Associate's Degree in General Studies and a Certificate in Library Science. I also have a certificate in Lay Ministry from Moravian Theological Seminary. I graduated from Saucon Valley High School in 1973. I currently live in Lower Saucon Township with my husband, Donald and my son, Alexander. My older son, Christopher and his wife Vicki have made me a Grandmother twice. I spend time with my grandsons, Emmett and Graham, as often as I can. I would also like to thank Christopher for his guidance in creating our library homepage.
When I'm not working at WASD, I enjoy volunteering with Girl Scouts in the Saucon Valley Area and the Eastern Pennsylvania Council. I also enjoy officiating at USATF and AAU track and field competitions as well as national and international weightlifting competitions.
My favorite chapter books are "Nancy Drew" mysteries by Carolyn Keene and "Sparrows in the Scullery" by Barbara Wallace, because I love to solve a good mystery.	and
	My favorite picture book is "Too Much Noise" by Ann McGovern because it shows that how we feel about things depends on our current experience.
The most influential person in my life is my father, Edward Quier, because he taught me that I can do anything if I am willing to put the thought, time and effort into doing it. My father and I get together at least once a week to walk and talk about all the things we are both doing. My favorite quote is "Success is not having what you want, but wanting what you have."
