Library Stacks

Nancy Watson has officially retired and is enjoying every minute.

I am Angela Ellis and I am the new Library Services Consultant at Region 10 ESC. I have been at Region 10 for a few years as a Texas Reading Academy cohort leader and a consultant for Texas Lesson Study.

I have worked in education for 30 years as a classroom teacher, school librarian, Reading First campus coach, and a curriculum & professional development specialist. I wrote curriculum, created and presented professional development, coached teachers, and supervised a team of instructional specialists. I also worked as a writing adjunct and have written library certification manuals for several companies.

I earned my Master of Library Science degree from Texas Woman’s University in 2008.

My priority is to serve you.

Feel free to contact me at angela.ellis@region10.org.

Wishing you a wonderful day.

I remain,

Angela Ellis, LMS

I have tons of ideas for exciting programs and trainings, but need your input to better serve you.

In the spirit of service and collaboration, I am asking that you complete the survey to give me ideas of how to best serve your needs. The survey is optional, but I would love to hear from you.

I'd love to highlight the great things that are happening in libraries across Region 10. Please send me stories and pictures of your outstanding programs. They will be featured in the monthly newsletter.
