My name is Lanine McMurtry, but our students call me Ms. Tangled. When I first started working for Adams 12 I was a substitute Paraprofessional, and I visited a lot of different schools. The one thing that followed me to each school, however, were the whispers from students saying "It's Tangled! It's Rapunzel!" I had a very long head of hair, and this was right around the same time that the cartoon Tangled had been released. After time the name stuck, and I became Ms. Tangled! The hair has changed, but the name stays the same, so if you hear your children talking about Ms. Tangled in the library... That's me!
This is my 6th year working at STEM Launch, and my 4th year working in the Library. I started as a substitute the first year STEM Launch opened, and by the second year I was hooked and working here as a student monitor. I absolutely love the PBL model we practice, and love the amazing things that our students accomplish every day, and I wanted to see more. Working in our unique kindergarten through 8th grade library is the culmination of every reason I started working for Adams 12 all of those years ago. I bring not only my passion for books to this space, but also my creative/artistic background, and computer knowledge. I can't wait to help your students find a book they will absolutely love to read.
