Mrs. O'Brien has been teaching in elementary schools for 16 years.  She has a degree in Human Development and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Texas Tech University and a Master's Degree in Library Science from the University of North Texas.  Mrs. O'Brien is thrilled to be Neill's first librarian because connecting readers to great books and inspiring students to get excited about trying new things are her two favorite parts about being a teacher.  When she is not at school, you will find her camping in the woods, kayaking, painting, gardening, or, of course, reading.
