[CALIBK12] NY Times Video - 21st Century School Librarian

[Doyle_Tony]

Boy, I really hate the narrator's opening line of that video, "Stephanie Rosalia is not your typical school librarian..."  She SHOULD be your typical school librarian.  She is no different than most of the librarians I know.  The real problem is that so many decision makers think that Stephanie is atypical.  The narrator should have said, "Stephanie Rosalia is not your grandmother's librarian..."  Not sure I would show that to others.

Just a thought,

Tony
