Meet the Librarian

Kalee Hiers

Mrs. Kalee Hiers

I am excited to be at Busbee Elementary!  I previously taught kindergarten here for 13 years, so I am happy to be at my "home" school.

I graduated from University of South Carolina Aiken in 1998 and received my Master's degree from the University of West Alabama in 2019.

I have 3 children, Anslee, Landon, and Garrison, and am married to Chuck. I love to read and go camping with my family and my favorite place to park my camper is the beach. I have a passion for teaching and a love for books, so the library is the perfect place to combine the two and pass this love to the students!

Book Checkout and Care


Book Checkout

The book checkout time at Busbee Elementary is for one week. If a student does not finish their book within that time, they are encouraged to return the book to the media center so that it can be renewed for another week.

Book Care

All students will go through Media Orientation and have review the proper way to take care of a book. Kindergarten students will spend two weeks learning the way to locate a book with the shelf marker, check out the book, and then transport the book safely from the media center to the classroom. Please remind your child that they should always “tuck” or “hug” their book when they are walking with it. It wouldn’t hurt to take a look at how media center books are placed in backpacks. Books should be kept away from food and liquids. If we work together then we will be able to limit the amount of books that have to be reordered due to damage.
