My name is Kristin Alexander and I am thrilled to serve as your Library &amp; Information Technology Educator (aka LITE, aka librarian)! I began my career in education teaching middle school RLA before coming to RISD as a LITE in 2014 and joining MST in 2022. My passions are connecting students to books that spark their interest and creating an inclusive, engaging learning environment where students can grow their critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. It&#8217;s going to be a marvelous year in the library!<\/p><p>Kristin Alexander, Library &amp; Information Technology Educator |\u00a0<a
