Tanja Galetti – Primary School Librarian
A warm welcome from our beautiful Primary School Library! My name is Tanja Galetti (“Ms. Tanja”) and this is my sixth year as Primary School Librarian at Hong Kong Academy. Before moving to Hong Kong, I lived and worked in Ghana for 19 years. I hold a Master’s degree in Linguistics, specializing in African languages, from University of Bayreuth (Germany) and a Master’s degree in Educational Technology with Library Media Specialization from Indiana State University, Terre Haute. As a result of my studies, I conducted research and participated in oral history projects while in West Africa. For five years, I was the Primary School Librarian at an IB World School in Accra, Ghana.
I enjoy supporting our young learners in their inquiries as we explore together how to search for and use information efficiently. I love to read and I read a lot, all the time ;) Most of all, I love to share our library’s wonderful books with our students, as we look for reading recommendations, chat about favorite books, inquire about authors and their works, read stories together and enjoy the magic of reading, books and libraries.
Alison May – Primary Library Assistant
Greetings! My name is Alison May (“Ms. Alison”) and this is my third year working at Hong Kong Academy — however, it’s my ninth (!) year as an HKA community member. I am a parent of two HKA boys: Ike in Grade 11 and Calvin in Grade 7, who began their HKA journey on Stubbs Road many years ago. I am an American from Oakland, California. I live in Clearwater Bay with my family and our two cats, Bootsy and Freddie Mercury. In my former work life, I was a producer in professional theatres in America. And, in my former volunteer life, I have coordinated the Buddy program, the Recycled Uniforms program and the library volunteers at HKA; as well as consulting local NGOs. I love swimming, yoga and I really love to read. I look forward to sharing time and books with our primary school readers.
We are both looking forward to welcoming you in our library!
Take advantage of our many wonderful resources and cozy reading spots :)
