Youth Services Blog Shows Off Profession's Variety
| If you want to meet the future of your profession, please click here. Started by Carol Tilley, assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the interviews display an amazing range of people, personalities, and professional choices.
Betsy Bird, a children's librarian at the New York Public Library, has not one, but two, children's books due out in 2013. Sam Sednek, a former Peace Corps volunteer who is currently a teen services librarian in Massachusetts, says, "I'm a big fan of getting teens to create content, not just consume it." And Dipesh Navsaria went to library school in the middle of attending medical school to learn more about children's literature, and is now an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin, as well as the medical director of Reach Out and Read Wisconsin.
Check out the interviews and please click here to contact her if you have other candidates for her to feature. We'll continue to post the link to the blog in the ILA E-Newsletter.
