Thankful

As we reflect upon this season and all of the things we are grateful for, it seems fitting to acknowledge the amazing team here at Curated Consulting, LLC. We have worked very hard preparing for compliance with the legislative changes in regards to libraries and are excited to share our knowledge, expedience, and expertise with others wanting to serve their library communities while meeting the demands of current legislature. 

Marcy Sparks is dedicated to building bridges between various stakeholders in education to make sure that libraries stay relevant in the conversations and decisions being made. The amount of time she spends doing research, consulting with experts, and creating training platforms is impressive and reflected in the success of the libraries she represents.  She is no stranger to hard work and takes her title of Library Services Coordinator very seriously as the scores of librarians under her directions can attest.  Marcy has been the visionary and catalyst for this company and we are very thankful she is ours.

Carolyn Del Rio is a curriculum expert who has spent many years honing her skills in both the classroom and the library. She has a wealth of understanding surrounding the nuances of young learners and how important the foundation of reading is to creating not only successful students but also people beyond the wall of our schools. Carolyn is very task and detailed oriented and her tried methods of success are appreciated by her peers. She has been integral in helping new librarians adapt to challenging and changing roles on campuses. These same ideas have been utilized by veteran librarians moving to new campuses, shifting grade levels, managing changes in administrators, and helping with shifting compliance. Carolyn is incredibly talented and versatile and we are thankful she is ours.

Kara Baker has spent the entirety of her education career in high schools but has a passion for picture books and creating storytelling settings for all students. Not only does she spend a great deal of time learning about the changes in the laws regarding libraries and education in general, but she also uses her knowledge to help create better lines of communication and relationships between teachers, administrators, parents, staff and community members.  Kara loves to teach research skills and create collaborative lessons with various contents and we are thankful she is ours.

Logan Sparks is a strong supporter of truth who uses his many talents to keep us focused and on target with our goals of helping others create best practice libraries that are compliant with the ever-shifting landscape of libraries. He is our first line of contact when people want information about who we are and what we do. He is an excellent face for us and we are thankful he is ours.
