Hi! I’m Sarah Frye (she/her), and I’ve been a librarian at College of Marin since 2013. I earned my BA in History from Hanover College and an MLS, Master of Library Science, from Indiana University Bloomington.
After completing my master’s degree, I began teaching as a librarian at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. At Wartburg, I taught information literacy in required courses across many different subject areas. I later worked as a librarian at Miami University Middletown in Ohio, where I taught EDT 251, Effective Use of Libraries, a required course in the Teacher Education Program.
Before arriving at COM, I taught information literacy at Pierce College in Lakewood, WA. I also collaborated with librarians across the state through a grant project called “Rising Junior,” which prepared students to transfer to four-year institutions, and I participated in Achieving the Dream, a national initiative aimed at reducing achievement gaps. I earned tenure at Pierce in spring 2013.
In 2011, I participated in the Association of College and Research Libraries’ Immersion Teacher-Track Program, focused on best teaching practices.
At the College of Marin, I teach students one-on-one at the reference desk and through information literacy sessions for courses such as English, History, Humanities, Communication, Political Science, Biology, and more! I love being a librarian because I get to empower students by helping them access and evaluate information. When I’m not in the library, I love running, surfing, listening to music, and spoiling my two cats. I look forward to meeting you and working with you at the College of Marin!
