Library Media Specialist: Mrs. Parrilli
I have loved working at IMS and getting to know the Indiantown community. I am in my 8th year here at our great school.
Personally I am married with three daughters who are thriving now in the real world. I am a Chicago native but have been in Florida for over thirty years and do call it home. Besides reading, I love getting outside whether it is in my yard, the beach or the woods. I hope to travel a bit more as time passes.
Stop in and see us or volunteer! It is a beautiful place to work!

How do I select books for our library?
As media specialist, I curate a list of books that I would like for our media center by asking teachers what they may need to supplement their coursework, surveying students, evaluating our current collection, attending conferences and webinars and reading professional publications. As a list is being created, professional reviews are consulted.
After I have my list in place, I have a committee review the list and approve or question choices. The committee is compromised of administration, teachers, and parents. Some volunteered to be on it and others were asked. If you would like to be on the committee, please complete this survey which includes watching a 10 minute training video. Once that is completed, I will contact you when I have a new list or stack of books to review! Thank you.
If you have any questions about our collection or how new books are chosen, please feel free to call or email me.
