Meet the librarian
Memorial Pathway Academy welcomes our new librarian, Ms. Monica Black! Ms. Black brings a wealth of educational experience, from teaching ELAR in middle schools to serving as a school librarian. She received her Master’s Degree in Library Science from Sam Houston State University and spent the last ten years as the librarian at Garland ISD’s Shugart Elementary. She has two adult children. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, cooking, and volunteering with the DFW Lab Rescue. She loves fostering Labrador Retrievers, which she believes are the cutest, smartest dogs in the world. Ms. Black regards the library as the biggest classroom in the building and believes it belongs to everyone. She is looking forward to working with students and teachers.

Schedule a tour
The library is open, and the Ms. Black would like to see more students. So, please bring your students in for a tour. Mr. Kamara has brought his students in for a short orientation. They were able to see the types of books and literacy games that we have in the MPA library. Ms. Black was excited to see many students check out books. Teachers, when you bring your students to the library, you are supporting their literacy goals and giving the librarian the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with MPA students.
Students, you are able to check out books. The goal is for you to read and understand. Keep books for a period of two weeks. If you need a longer period of time, simply bring the books in and recheck them. If you decide a book is not for you, just come get another one. We want you to enjoy reading, so keep trying until you find books or authors that you like.
