Karen Lindsay

Associate Member

Karen Lindsay is from beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. She has a combined honours degree in French and English (York University), a Bachelor of Education in French and Drama (University of Toronto) and a Masters of Education in Teacher-librarianship from the University of Alberta. Her thesis topic was Teacher/Teacher-Librarian Collaboration: A Study of Instructional Choices Made By Frequent, Moderate, And Non-Users of School Library Services.

Karen worked as a French teacher for many years before “seeing the light” and studying teacher-librarianship. She served on the executive of the Greater Victoria Teacher-Librarians’ Association for several years, most recently as President. From 2006 to 2010, Karen was Vice-President, Advocacy, of the British Columbia Teacher-Librarians’ Association, where she created a province-wide Drop Everything and Read Challenge. In 2009, she was honoured with the Diana Poole BC Teacher-Librarian of the Year Award and with the Ken Haycock Award for the Promotion of Libraries in Canada.

In August 2010, she left the library at Reynolds Secondary School in Victoria, to embrace a new challenge at The American Cooperative School of Tunis, Tunisia. She has a twenty-year-old daughter, three cats and a dog, only one of which came with her. Guess which one.
