ABOUT ME
​

Welcome to the media center website! My name is Lauren Newman, and I am the library, media, and technology specialist for Northern's middle school. I am very excited about working with my seventh and eighth grade students! Here's a little about me: I graduated from The College of New Jersey with a BA in English Education, and went on to teach middle school reading, writing, and history. Later, I obtained my Master’s degree in Library and Information Science from Rutgers University and then joined Northern in 2008. I love teaching students new technology and recommending books, and I love my job! It is my hope that this website assists students in becoming responsible and ethical 21st century readers, researchers, and overall awesome digital citizens!

In my free time, I like to read (of course!), play word games, and go for walks with my two sons Jack and James.
