Welcome back from Spring Break, Dillo Readers!
I love working with our district librarians, especially when it comes to learning about books. There are so many good books published each year that it's hard to keep up with them all! This picture book was recommended by my former intern, Mrs. Mensing, who is now the librarian at Sommer Elementary, my former school.
If it's a book about libraries, especially children's libraries, then I want it on my personal shelf. Anne Carroll Moore wasn't the only librarian to promote public lending libraries for children, but she was instrumental in establishing them in New York, and designed the Children's Room in the newly built New York Public Library in 1911. Even after retiring, she toured the country to promote reading and library programs for children.
Miss Moore Thought Otherwise is written by Jan Pinborough and illustrated by Debby Atwell.
It's Monday, and I read a picture book biography of an influential librarian for Women's History Month. We have plenty more biographies of famous women to check out in our Anderson Mill Library; have you read one lately?
