All Around: Librarians Kelli Yonker, Mary Drexler, Deanna Wallace and Melissa Montgomery

Shelton's four librarians — Kelli Yonker, Mary Drexler, Deanna Wallace and Melissa Montgomery — embrace connecting with our students and encouraging a belief of self. Even though some Shelton students are challenged with the written word, Shelton librarians have created a culture in which students flock to the area of the school where they are surrounded by written materials. The four have cultivated a culture of joy within our libraries, allowing students to be transported by and immersed in books. The libraries are the heart of each division, and Kelli, Mary, Marissa and Deanna are in the hearts of Shelton students.
