Hilary Grossetete

Mrs. Grossetete believes a school library is more than a room filled with books—it is an invitation to wonder: a welcoming place where curiosity is cultivated, imaginations are sparked, and stories help shape both minds and hearts. She is passionate about helping students discover the joy of reading and the unique gifts God has placed within each of them. Now entering her seventh year at Annunciation Catholic School and her fourth year as Librarian, she is grateful to continue serving the ACS community.

Born and raised in Albuquerque, Mrs. Grossetete's Catholic education began at St. Therese and Holy Ghost Schools before she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from the College of Santa Fe. Her career took her from New York City, where she pursued acting, to the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, where she served as Director of Special Events, before ultimately leading her to the vocation she loves most: teaching and serving children through school librarianship.

Inspired by a family of teachers, readers, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners, she strives to create a library where every student feels welcomed, known, and inspired to explore. She believes the stories we encounter as children help shape the people we become, leaving a lasting imprint on our imagination, our character, and the way we see the world. Whether introducing students to beloved classics, exciting new authors, exploring history, or helping a reluctant reader discover the book that finally clicks, she finds joy in connecting each child with stories they will carry for a lifetime.

She and her husband, Grant, are proud parents of Paige and Riley. As both a faculty member and parent, she treasures being part of the Annunciation Catholic School community. Outside the library, she enjoys reading, dancing, singing, completing jigsaw puzzles, discovering new restaurants with her foodie husband, and spending time with family and friends. She hopes every student leaves the library with a book in hand and a sense of wonder that stays with them long after they turn the final page.
