Librarians in NYC Public Schools

Kids need research skills. They also need to know that not everything is on the Internet. The New York Times profiles Stephanie Rosalia, a school librarian in Brighton Beach:

Combining new literacy with the old, Ms. Rosalia invites students to write book reviews that she posts in the library’s online catalog. She helped a math teacher design a class blog. She urges students to use electronic databases linked from the library’s home page.

Not all of Ms. Rosalia’s efforts involve technology. The license plate on her black BMW says “READ,” and she retains a traditional librarian’s passion for books.
