Heather Fallis, a library media specialist at the Bowling Green Middle School, is the third honoree
during the Bowling Green Kiwanis Club’ inspirational educator month. She will be the guest speaker at
the club’s Thursday noon luncheon at Stone Ridge Golf Club.
Fallis is a native of Euclid and a graduate of Euclid High School. She went on to earn undergraduate
degrees in communication disorders and elementary education from Bowling Green State University in 2001
and a master’s degree in school library sciences from Mansfield University.
She started with Bowling Green City Schools as a method student while an undergraduate at BGSU and at the
end of the year she was hired for an open position as a fifth grade student at Conneaut Elementary
School. She taught at Conneaut Elementary for 15 years before moving to the middle school where she
taught sixth grade for a year before she getting what she calls “my dream job” as a librarian three
years ago.
In her presentation to the Kiwanis Club on Thursday, Fallis plans to talk about the different role of
libraries versus the libraries of the past.
“We have much more than books in our BG Middle School library,” Fallis said. “My goal at BGMS is to
create a library that not only fosters a love of reading and access to a large number of books but also
serves as the heart of the school.”
