DCPS Start Date: 8/27/1990

A graduate of DCPS, Ms. Lipscomb Gardner has worked as a library media specialist in DCPS for over twenty-five years. Throughout those years she has worked to build strong relationships with community programs and resources that would be of benefit to her school, such as collaborating with the University of District of Columbia to ensure Wilson students had a space to continue their research during recent Wilson renovations. According to Central Office Staff, Ms. Lipscomb Gardner works “well beyond the traditional library program,” to ensure that she connects with students and helps each one discover a compelling piece of literature. She also assumes a leadership and coaching role in DCPS as a member of the Library Corps and a founder of the newly formed Librarian Mentor program.
