Miss Davenport has been Carter High School’s librarian for 11 years. Her job is essential for both teachers and students and it goes further than organizing books and sitting down behind the library desk. She helps to make photocopies and print essays, she is in charge of the computers that the students use, helps everybody find the book they need, helps when students are not able to log into computers and a long list of other things. When asked if she feels appreciated she said: “I feel like I am more appreciated than more of my colleagues in other high schools and that is great”. After that, she laughed and added “However, I believe that my job consists of doing things under the radar, making it look easy and chill” In addition to all the work she does, she is also in charge of a class where she has library aides or “my beautiful library aides” as she calls them. Students in this class will help Miss Davenport run different errands like laminate papers, take the Chromebooks to the different classes and check out and in books. During this class, she always makes sure to be in touch with her students by making little conversations or making sure everything is okay in their lives. She is full of knowledge, from general culture to the most random thing you can imagine. “ I am a curious person and I like to read” she admits “whenever I don’t know something I like to read about it and teach myself new things” McKenzie Fisher, a junior library aide on her first period, shared one of her favorite memories with Miss Davenport while laughing. “One day, during class, Miss Davenport taught us about train sounds and the meaning behind them. She even printed a paper that explained all the different sounds and explained them to us”
