Hello, my name is Linsey Bumgarner. I have
worked for the Youth Services department of Jackson County Public Library off
and on for the last seven years with mission work overseas in-between. My
passion is to work with children and families wherever the Lord has me, especially
the children of Jackson County, my home. With my Birth-Kindergarten Education
degree from WCU in 2008 and my experiences in teaching and youth work since
then, I have developed an
overwhelming love for getting down on a child’s level and making connections
through listening and careful explanation, for interactive story times full of
early literacy skills, and for hands-on exposure to and early development in
art, science, engineering, math, cultures, and more. I strongly believe that
children learn the most through play and they have a natural curiosity and
inclination to explore with a keen insight into their surroundings so I will
work hard to encourage
an environment that promotes these strengths physically, socially, and emotionally.
I know God has a special love for children and I will do my best to show them
that they are seen, heard, and loved by Him. I look forward to meeting you all
soon!
