Librarian Bio
My name is Noelle Harrild and I’m so excited to be the librarian at Thomas Edison Charter School-North Campus. I have lived in Cache Valley for the past 5 years but am originally from Blackfoot Idaho. I have four kids, 2 of which are currently students at TECS.

I have a BA degree from Idaho State University in International Studies with an emphasis in Russian culture and language and a minor in Political Science. I recently received my Masters of Education from Utah State University in Instructional Technology and School Library Media. I love working with children and adults to encourage quality research, information literacy, and a life long love of reading.

Mission of the Library
 The mission of the library media program for Thomas Edison Charter School is to enrich and support the school community. This entails providing a wide range of quality materials on all appropriate levels of difficulty, providing materials and services that will encourage growth in knowledge and encourage a love of reading. In order to accomplish this mission the librarians and classroom teachers will collaborate to teach students how to locate, select, evaluate, organize, and communicate information as it relates to Thomas Edison Charter School's educational curriculum standards.
