Greeting Bluejays!

Our Vision
The library should be an essential part of the school community. It is a place where students come to think, create, share, and grow. In the library, students will:

• gain new knowledge by thinking critically and solving problems;
• they will collaborate with others to achieve common goals;
• they will collect, organize, and share resources;
• they will explore their personal interests and employ a growth mindset; and
• they will learn how to act responsibly as a digital citizen.

Mission Statement
“The mission of AISD libraries is to nurture a lifelong appreciation of reading and learning by assuring that students and staff have opportunities for successful access, evaluation and use of information and literature.”

Hi Bluejays! I am excited to be part of the Blazier community and can't wait to get to know you all. This will be my second year with AISD, and I know it's going to be great! -Mrs. Harris

About the Librarian

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 to Texas, 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 am now starting my second year with the Blazier community where my daughter is set to be a future Bluejay.

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! Please come visit and see what we have to offer!
