Corinna Mansfield

Head IBDP Librarian, Malvern College Hong Kong

As a librarian with over 15 years of experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the school library-related needs of students and educators. I have worked with a wide range of students, including those with special needs, and I understand the challenges they face when it comes to accessing and utilising library resources and skills. I am passionate about helping students develop literacy, research and writing skills, and I am committed to promoting the value of school libraries. I began my career as a Secondary School Librarian in New York City, but I have worked all over the world with a wide range of students from every imaginable background. I am currently working at Malvern College in Hong Kong. My goal is to create informative pieces of work that will improve student library skills and give educators useful tools for teaching while making work in the library fun and exciting.
