Mrs. Mitchell believes in the power of reading! Every child deserves to choose what they want to read because that choice helps develop a lifelong love of literature. I believe books cultivate empathy, critical thinking, and happiness.As a teacher-librarian, I believe enthusiasm is contagious and that every student is a unique, amazing individual brimming with possibility and inherent potential. The school library is the heart of the community. Beyond books, the library is a 21st century future-ready classroom of innovation and literacy.

The mission of the Groves Elementary School library is to encourage a life-long love of reading and prepare students to be future ready learners by:
- Creating a welcoming, safe, and inclusive atmosphere for students, staff and community members.
- Cultivating a consciously curated, diverse, quality library collection that encourages students to voraciously read for pleasure and individual inquiry.
- Collaborating with teachers across the curriculum on learning objectives and lessons as a partner to the classroom.
- Teaching students how to effectively use and evaluate print and digital resources.
- Provide students and staff with opportunities to use and learn a wide variety of 21st century technology while establishing a collaborative environment in which to create and explore.

Did you know that anyone who lives in Harris County can get a library card for free? There is even a digital library card which allows you to read not only books and magazines, but also allows you to listen to audiobooks and watch movies. *Children under 13 must have parent consent for the iKnow digital card.*
