Teacher Librarian's Message
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
Dr. Seuss
Welcome to the ATS Library!
It is a true privilege to serve the American School of Tampico community as your Teacher Librarian. After six enriching years at ATS, I am honored to lead a program that is deeply rooted in our mission: to empower students to become lifelong learners, caring global citizens, and leaders in their communities.
At ATS, we believe the library is more than just a place to find books—it’s a dynamic, inclusive space where imagination is sparked, curiosity is encouraged, and learning happens in many forms. Dr. Seuss captured this beautifully: reading opens doors, builds knowledge, and inspires new journeys.
Our library program is an essential part of the school’s educational experience. With the welcoming environments of the Fleishman and Americus libraries, the new Early Childhood Library, and a growing collection of thoughtfully selected resources, we strive to meet the diverse needs of all learners. The library is also a space for connection, collaboration, and creativity—whether students are exploring stories, conducting research, or diving into new interests.
Behind the scenes, our library team works hand-in-hand with teachers, staying current with best educational practices, and designing initiatives that support classroom learning and personal growth. We are committed to fostering a love of reading and providing students with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
As we continue to grow, I hope that every student, parent, and teacher will see the library as a place that not only supported their learning—but helped shape their journey. It is a joy to walk alongside our students as they discover who they are and who they can become.
Thank you for being a part of this journey.
