About Fitz

My name is Sarah FitzHenry, and I am not your average librarian.

I believe that books and libraries are critical tools for helping to create the next generation of citizens and leaders that will shape our future.

Librarians have power to change the world, one reader at a time – and I am here to work.

Fitz 'Grams

On the third day of Tech-Mas, my library gave to me... a way to illuminate my creativity. (Squishy circuits and jumbo LEDs really make this student-made puppy shine.) #twelvedaysoftechmas #csstorytime #schoollibrarian #cs4all #circuits #squishycircuits #playdoh #elementaryteacher

Accio, Harry Potter fans, and get ready to step into the magical world of Hogwarts! 🧙‍♀️ Young wizards and witches will share games, stories, discussions, crafts, and even compete in a Harry Potter trivia house cup! Wizards of all ages are welcome, and prior Hogwarts experience isn’t required (although our fun may contain story spoilers). Check this week’s digest for registration details. #harrypotter #imsoexcited

On the second day of Tech-Mas, my library gave to me... a new way to bring my favorite traditions to life. (This Diwali Diya prototype is about to become a physical computing game controller thanks to @makeymakey!) #twelvedaysoftechmas #cs4all #makeymakey #librarian #schoollibrarian #teacherlibrarian #computerscience

What is Ms. Fitz reading? Here’s the view from December 2! November was all about audiobooks! With a new @audible subscription, I was able to listen without having to wait - a huge bonus when you have impatient kids waiting to talk to you about what you’re reading. I abandoned more books than I finished this month, and found it hard to connect with a narrative. To be honest, I’m finding my “read books mostly from our library” rule confining and frustrating, but I know the kids are appreciating it. Of the 18 books I read this month, 11 are available for checkout from our library and 9 were suggested by (or borrowed from) or suggested by students and families. In November I really loved Laughing at My Nightmare (best of 2019), Birthday (another best of 2019), Look Both Ways, Boss the Bestseller List like JK Rowling, Symptoms of Being Human, Half a World Away, and Maybe He Just Likes You. Remember that October hope of having more free time to read? Not so much 😉 I’ll try again in December! #reader #currentlyreading #librarian

On the first day of Tech-Mas, my library gave to me... an example of just how powerful a connected team can be. (If you look closely, our human circuit is powering the game on the screen!) #twelvedaysoftechmas #csforall #makeymakey #computerscience

It’s a beautiful day to learn something new. #lifelonglearner #realmenneedlepoint #thankful
