About Me

Erica Cue (aka The Library Queen) is a Middle School Librarian currently in Rialto, CA. and has dedicated many years working at all levels: elementary, middle and high school. With over 15 years of experience in public education, Erica’s favorite place to be is in the school library. She has been named Para educator of the year for her school district as well as the County of San Bernardino. She serves on the California School Library Association State Board as the Paraprofessional Representative. In the 2014-2015 school year Oak Park Elementary School was recognized as a California Distinguished School. Their application showcased their library program as their signature practice.

Whatever the cost of the libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.” These words of Walter Cronkite sum up what Erica believes and compels her to give her all in creating a library culture at her school. If it something that benefits the students, parents or staff, she partners with teachers and the principal to support student achievement and makes it a priority to get students participating in the Literacy Hub.

Tales of a Library Queen is a blog I created to offer innovative and creative ideas to those that are new and seasoned in their library profession. The school library plays a vital role in the success of its students and it is the one place on each school campus that “all” students have access too. Hopefully this blog will take the pressure off of your busy schedule and make lesson planning for your library a little easier.
