Hello!  My name is Robb Smith and I'm the Librarian at Alice Carlson.  This year is my 5th at Alice Carlson, and my 30th as a teacher.  I grew up near Eagle Mountain Lake and went to Boswell High School.  I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor's degree in English.  Hook 'Em!  My first Master's degree came from Texas Wesleyan University, where I majored in Reading and where also recieved my Principal's Certification and Master Reading Certification.  I earned my Library Certification through the University of North Texas.

It has been my privilege to work with hundreds of students and parents at various schools throughout Fort Worth ISD.  I have been a self-contained teacher, assistant principal, reading specialist, and an English as a Second Language teacher.  I have also served as an adjunct professor of ESL Methodology at Texas Wesleyan University and as an adjunct professor of ESOL at Tarrant County College.  I feel very honored to be part of the Carlson family, and look forward to helping coach another generation of life long learners!

When I'm not at Carlson, I enjoy reading (of course!), traveling to fun and exciting place, and cooking/baking.  I also enjoy spending my vacations at our farmhouse near Cooperstown, New York, where I get to garden, read books on the screened porch, and generally do as much or as little as I please.   I'm also owned by a tuxedo cat named Holly.  :)

Drop by the library when you're at Carlson....I'll keep the coffee warm for you!
