about The cms librarian
My name is Rebecca Henke and I am the librarian here at CMS. This job began for me in 2017 and quickly became the best job I have ever had the pleasure to work. Reading is one of my greatest passions, and I've dedicated my life to inspiring this same love in children. As Anne Dillard once said:
"She reads books as one would breath air, to fill up and live."
As a child, I grew up near Edwardsville, but later moved to Indiana and then Ohio. I returned to Southern Illinois at the end of 2015, when I married my wonderful husband. I live in Monroe County with him and our two dogs. My degree is in Social Studies Education, and I taught Social Studies to at-risk kids for a few years, before transitioning into library science. Occasionally I'll miss teaching, but working as a librarian is so much fun, I think about it less and less each day.
