[CALIBK12] A San Francisco Bay Area treasure, Julie Winkelstein

[Thomas Kaun]

I was reminded once again today in reading my local newspaper (Contra Costa
Times) what a treasure we have in the Bay Area in the person of Julie
Winkelstein. Julie is the children's library at a small but vigorous
community library in Albany, California. She writes a weekly library column
which appears in several of our local newspapers and is also available on
her website <http://www.juliewinkelstein.com/juliew_columns.html>.
This week's column struck me because she was commenting on Debbie Reeses's
blog, "American Indians in Children's Literature." And Debbie has been a
regular contributor to this list, helping to raise our consciousness about
how native Americans are treated in children's lit.
Take a look at Julie's columns, they offer great insight into the world of
the public library, children's lit, and, because she s a recent grad of the
great library program at San Jose State University, the world of library
education.
Enjoy. And thanks, Julie.
