Meet Mrs. Harris! 

I was born and raised in a small town on the Gulf coast called Port Lavaca, but after graduating from the University of Texas, I, my husband, and our pup Huckleberry moved to Florida, then Germany, and then Norway. After having a little one in 2018, we wanted to be closer to family, so we came back to where it all started – Austin! Amidst all the moving, I have taught middle and high school English while also getting my Master’s in Information Science. Overseas, I was the program coordinator at a research library. When we moved back, I worked for Dell Medical School library while full-time mom-ing and working on my school librarian certification. I was the Travis Heights Elementary librarian for 21-22 and had an awesome experience and then began serving the Blazier community (just a bike ride away!) during the 22-23 school year and have been here ever since. 

My hobbies include jigsaw puzzles, reading (of course!), and taking care of my many plant babies. On the weekends, you will probably find my family getting breakfast tacos, hitting up any playgrounds with shade or a splash pad (this heat! 😅), and/or treating ourselves to bubble tea. 

Most importantly, I am fully committed to help our Bluejays become lifelong learners and readers! I also strive to makethe library a welcoming, safe space for all. Please come visit and see what we have to offer!
