Helping Kids Fall in Love . . . with BOOKS!

MICHELLE MARTIN / SHUTTERSTOCK / THE ATLANTIC
Just this week over at the Atlantic, Ashley Fetters interviewed University of Washington professor Michelle Martin, a children's library services specialist.   Martin is working to give librarians and teachers tools for connecting students of all backgrounds to books that will make them fall in love with reading.  Her stand-out creation, Camp Read-A-Rama, is a melding of her passion for outdoor learning and enthusiasm for children's literature.  Martin calls her approach "reducing the distance between books and life."  Find out why and how she has successfully engaged children, families, and educators with her dedication and innovation HERE.
