Any alert child who is taken often to a reasonably well run library... Knows that this book tells the truth. Librarians are essential members of every community.
This book is super-easy to read, explaining what librarians do in the simplest possible terms:
They help children.
They also help adults.
That's for sure. Just today some excellent librarians at my library -- The Loudoun County Regional Library in Sterling, Virginia -- helped me to check out a pile of easy reader books, including many about libraries and librarians.
As for story time with a children's librarian? Back in the day, my son loved it. I adored it. So I totally relate to the contagious sweetness in that part of this book, on Pages 18-19.
FIVE STARS of applause all around, to Julie Murray and
to librarians!

This is a short, but interesting look at what librarians do, specifically school librarians. One of the librarians at my local library recommended this to me, since she knows that this is what I want to do for my second career. I loved being able to share with our girls the work I'll focus on as well as the education required to become a school librarian.
The narrative is simple, although there are lots of photo captions and Did You Know? blurbs scattered throughout. This can make reading the book aloud a bit disjointed, but on the whole, it's a rather informative and interesting book. The photographs are big, colorful, and contemporary, which is refreshing for a book like this. I think this would be a great book for an elementary school student to use as research about a job or just to learn about this career. We really enjoyed reading it together.

Picture book, for Spanish practice. It had nice simple language and was clear and entertaining. No English translation.
