About this ebook

Let's Meet a Librarian!

Are you curious about dinosaurs? Music? Volcanoes? You're in luck!

Mr. Field is a librarian. He knows how to find information about all kinds of cool things. He shows the students in Mrs. Ríos's class how to use the library.

Let's hear it for librarians!

"Cartoon-style animated drawings in bright colors introduce diverse characters who will capture children's interest." —School Library Journal

"In each book introducing a community-benefiting career, schoolchildren meet one adult to learn about his or her job; information includes the training required to become a firefighter, doctor, etc., daily routines, and primary responsibilities. The content is inclusive and up-to-date but delivered though vapid stories. Peppy computer-generated cartoons are amateur." - The Horn Book Guide

    Finally! A book about librarians that focuses on their love of information! Huzzah! And NO SHUSHING! I love how the author and illustrator shows readers a school librarian who does more that read stories... incorporates technology, helps teachers with tech issues, puppet shows, sings/dances!

    Let's Meet a Librarian by Gina Bellisario is a short picture book that introduces preschool and kindergarten aged children to the library.As the book is meant for children who might have just gotten their first library card, its focus is on the things they will probably see in the parts of the library they frequent (the school library, the classroom library and the children's library at their local public library).On the positive side, the book shows children that libraries are more than just books and librarians do more than just check out books. Also, the book includes a male librarian. It also shows how librarians use and maintain the library computers.Now as a "behind the scenes" librarian, I'm sad to see that there's not much there for what I do. There's no talk of cataloging (beyond an a brief mention of Dewey classification, which is only one method, by the way) or book repair. Nor is there book acquisition — or interlibrary loans.But, it is an introduction to libraries and librarians — not a text book. It does include a glossary as well as some suggested reading.
