South Elementary Library

My name is Ashley Litzelfelner (Litz). I will be your child's librarian this year. This is my 19th year at South Elementary. I taught 1st grade here for 9 years and 3rd grade for 3 before moving to the library. I have loved being a part of the South Elementary family throughout the years. My goal as your child's librarian is to help them find joy for reading. If you ever have any questions about books, please ask.

Children love being read to and read with, so please try to make a nightly habit of reading with your child. This is a great way to build a love for reading.
