Librarian’s Assistant Goes the Extra Mile
At Lamar High School we have a dedicated staff that cares for the students’ well-being and the learning environment of the students. This narrative also holds true for our library, which provides a stress free environment for everyone within the school.
Mindful Mondays are designed to help students release stress and the librarians help students find their way around the books and materials that come with visiting the library.
Library Assistant Kiana Roberson is a quiet force in the library, however, her contributions speak volumes. She helps students navigate the library and discover various genres.
“I would describe the library as comforting,” Roberson explains. “You could come in here with a pass and be on your own, read books, or even work on your phone. As long as you’re not too loud.”
Roberson is a very kind spirited and knowledgeable assistant who takes great pride in keeping the library organized and updated. Many dynamics to the library that students likely overlook are taking care of by Roberson. Not only does she make sure all books are returned to the correct location, but she’s also charged with managing the drop off box and ensuring that the library serves as a welcoming environment.
“I really like doing the art work in the back of the library,” Roberson shares. “It really helps the students visualize materials and it also highlights the great things we’re doing here.”
The very approachable Roberson has been with the Lamar family for four years. She knows where everything is in the library and is a tremendous resource for the faculty and staff. As the direct assistant to Librarian Raquel Brabender – Roberson can be credited with creating a better environment and a safe space for all Lamar students.
