Inside the GCA Library with Julie Ferrer: Virtual Library Services for Every Learner

A school library is more than a physical place. It is a resource for discovery, research, reading, and access to information. In this episode of GCA Unmuted: Voices of Virtual Education, Julie Ferrer, Federal Programs Director at Georgia Cyber Academy, shares how GCA’s school library serves students and staff in a fully virtual environment. She explains how digital resources are selected, accessed, and used across grade levels to support learning. The conversation explores how the library supports reading, research, media literacy, and student access, along with the role federal programs play in helping make those resources available. Julie also reflects on what it takes to keep a virtual library active, useful, and connected to the broader student experience. This episode offers a closer look at how a school library can evolve beyond a physical space and continue opening doors for learners online.
