She has also served as a Young Adult Librarian for the Dallas Public Library.
Mrs. White loves to read and greatly desires to encourage children to develop a love of reading. She thinks that Google Lit Trips will help stir the children’s desire to read and increase their knowledge of geography.
Mrs. White took a class in Google Earth and began creating Google Lit Trips. The trip about Owney was her final project for the class which was taught by Tim Stahmer.
