Think of you favorite book and the first time you picked it up. Remember how it made you feel as you worked you way toward the end? Maybe it was the first in a swashbuckling series. Maybe it was a biography that inspired you to write a musical. Do you remember who introduced it to you? Was it a parent or another relative? A teacher, or perhaps the school librarian? 

On today's podcast, we will talk to five Roosevelt School District Librarians and see how they are introducing their love of reading to our students. These paraprofessionals share their stories and experiences as their roles evolve to include teaching lessons, implementing social-emotional learning practices and using Apple technology to make reading fun and accessible for the kids and their parents.

We look forward to seeing what our five librarians will do with their students and families in the years to come. Reading has been, and will always be, a way to go anywhere and be anything, to find friends to know and ways to grow. All you have to do is take a look in a book.
