Our Staff:
Mrs. Cantrell - I am the librarian/media specialist in the Beech Springs Media Center. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from USC Upstate, and I taught 8th grade English for 11 years. I then completed my Masters in Information and Library Science from the University of South Carolina, and I am a National Board Certified Teacher. I love impacting students and sharing my love for reading and digital learning, as well as helping students find books that suit their research needs and/or reading interests. I also enjoy helping educators use our library resources to find helpful resources for their classroom. Come see me if you need a great book or help with a research project! I also have a fantastic time helping students record and produce the school news show, WBSI news.
Mr. Burke - Mr. Burke is the library assistant, and he helps with checkout, shelving books, barcoding, organizing the library, welcoming students, and much more. He helps the library run smoothly on a daily basis and loves his job at Beech Springs!
