Ambrit Library: Meet the Staff
Mrs. Ronning and Mrs. Wiebe Librarian Amy Ronning came
to Ambrit from International School Bangkok (ISB) in Thailand, one
of many stops on her global journey. She has an undergraduate
degree in
psychology from Pacific Lutheran University in Washington State.
Later
in Boston Mrs. Ronning got her master's degree in Library Science from
Simmons College and coupled that with a teaching certificate from The
College of New Jersey in 2004. At Ambrit she started as a Library
Mum,
but upon the retirement of long-time Ambrit librarian, Carole Doyle,
Mrs. Ronning stepped into the lead position. Born in Washington
State, she has lived in Norway and speaks the language fluently.
Before moving to Rome in 2005 with her husband and two children,
Amy lived in Asia for eleven years.
We will be sorry to lose Amy when her family moves on to Africa in December 2009.
Ruth Viola has been at Ambrit for 20 years, and this year she made the switch from first grade classroom teacher to Librarian. Look soon for an updated photo of the staff and a brief bio of Ruth. Library Assistant Jill Gohdes Wiebe came to Ambrit from the Montgomery County Public School System in the state of Maryland, USA, where she had lived for 14 years. Although her undergraduate degree was in Economics (from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota), she had worked as a Paraeducator at Strathmore Elementary for three years and as a Media Assistant at Brookhaven Elementary for six years before coming to Rome in January of 2007. Born in California, Mrs. Wiebe grew up in Wisconsin, where she returns each summer. Jill lives in Rome with her husband and has two adult children.
To help our library run smoothly, we are assisted by this year's volunteer Library Mums: Giovanna Bellelli, Flavia Campi, Amy Flynn, Mizuho Hagiwara, Francesca Lucci, Samantha Magick, Kiki Mol, Carla Tucci, and Jennifer Walbridge.
