Meet the new Media Specialist
February 9, 2022
This year, the high school has gotten lots of new staff members who seem
happy to be doing their jobs. Mrs. Kelly Harrington, the school’s newest librarian, is one
of them. Last year, during one of the toughest times of the pandemic, she worked
full-time at Davisville Middle School (DMS) as a librarian.
happy to be doing their jobs. Mrs. Kelly Harrington, the school’s newest librarian, is one
of them. Last year, during one of the toughest times of the pandemic, she worked
full-time at Davisville Middle School (DMS) as a librarian.
Before her librarian career, she worked in IT for about 20 years.
Her first librarian job was at East Providence High School, then she had a full-time
job at DMS. She has enjoyed reading books since she was a kid and it had always
been her dream to work in the library.
Most people would agree with her when she says that being with family
can be a fun time. She’s someone who loves to hike and travel (mostly outside the
country). Almost every reader has a favorite book, and Mrs. Herrington’s is Ain’t
Burned All Bright by Jason Reynolds. A few of her biggest accomplishments are
having six wonderful children and becoming a librarian.
Everyone has at least one thing they look forward to in their work day. For
Mrs. Harrington, it’s seeing students of all grades coming into the library, making
it a safe environment for the students to find books or just to have peace and
quiet to study, and being able to help with Chromebook issues. She thinks that it’s
nice that students at North Kingstown High School are respectful, friendly, and
well-rounded students. Mrs. Harrington is very helpful when looking for a book,
she always makes sure that students know that they shouldn’t be afraid to ask for
help.
