Librarians: Making Hearts Large Through Story

We're celebrating School Library Month with three of the most dedicated librarians we know. John Schumacher (the famous "Mr. Schu") and Scholastic librarian Deimosa Webber-Bey talk with us about why they became librarians, the crucial task of finding the right book for a child, and why-as John describes it-the library is "the heart and soul of a school."

Episode 14 Kristina Holzweiss getting SLIMED!!

Kristina Holzweiss, school librarian at the Bayshore Middle School was voted School Medial Librarian of the Year by School Library Journal in 2015. Chris had an opportunity to speak with her about how to reach kids with STEAM, making science fun (even though Chris and Kristina are not great with math) along with some great laughs and Batman impressions along the way.

First, we talk with Kristina Holzweiss, a media specialist at Bay Shore Middle School in New York who is spearheading the maker movement across Long Island.

TTW Grant Winner: Kristina Holzweiss at Bay Shore Middle School

I am very excited to bring gaming into my school library during Teen Tech Week, sponsored by YALSA. With a grant by Best Buy, I am able to purchase Bloxels video game creators, Breakout Edu games, and Versa Tiles. Each resource will bring gaming to my library at a different level.
