Michael McGrorty sends us this great New York Times article profiling a couple of NYC school libraries and librarians.
When a library is the most beautiful room a child has ever seen, it sends a message. “One of my kids, a third grade boy, said to me, ‘I want to be a librarian,’ ” said Concetta Ritorto, principal of P.S. 10 in Park Slope, Brooklyn. “I said, ‘You’re kidding.’ ” If you’ve seen the new library at P.S. 10 it makes sense; the wood-paneled room feels like a Midtown Manhattan law library.
Anon sent this school library story Clarion Ledger (MS) about a provision in Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour’s education reform legislation which would exempt higher-performing schools from having a librarian. The exemption will be deleted when the bill goes before a House Education Committee.
