ABOUT YOUR LIBRARIAN
Mrs. Melissa Cantu
Welcome to Dragonland, Where Great Books And Resources Await You!!
I’m the proud librarian at Fasken Elementary, home of the Book Dragons!
I’m a 2009 graduate of Texas A&M International University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts & Science Degree in English Literature with a minor in Creative Writing. Prior to becoming a librarian, I taught middle school for four years at Washington Middle School as an 8th grade ELAR/ECAR teacher and 1.5 years at Lamar Bruni Vergara Middle School as a 7th Grade ELAR teacher. I earned a Master’s Degree in Library Science from the University of North Texas - Denton in 2011. I became the librarian at Finley Elementary in 2022 and joined the Fasken community during the 2026-2027 school year.
I can't wait for you to dive into the exhilarating world of our library! Get ready to uncover thrilling adventures, unravel captivating mysteries, and embark on journeys through time and space with every page you turn. The excitement of endless possibilities awaits you in the land of books!
