​Ms. Surprenant believes that stories truly are wonderful as they introduce us to new ideas, experiences, and perspectives . Books show us different ways of living and encourage our imaginations to wonder. Two of her favorite titles to read are Franklin's Flying Bookshop by Jen Campbell and The Line Tender by Kate Allen because these stories focus on the power of friendship. Ms. S reads all sorts of books from graphic novels to biographies and loves to talk to students about their reading and research adventures!  ​

Ms. Piligian has loved books from a very young age. She still remembers the first book she read on her own: “I Hate my Bow” by Hans Wilhem. Some of her favorite genres to read are young adult, mystery, and biography. She earned her B.S. in Early Childhood Education as well as an M.Ed with a concentration in Reading at Lesley University. She is very excited to be working in the library this year.
