Welcome to the Ponderosa Library!

Picture
Mrs. Lopez is fascinated by history. After all, just like what the great Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "We are not makers of history. We are made by history."

Mrs. Lopez, the librarian, has been teaching for 17 years, 11 of those years in the library at Ponderosa Elementary.  Her passion is finding creative and inventive ways to disseminate information.  Check out our Ponderosa Specials Channel on YouTube.
