Librarian Shares Her Love Of Reading

An interview with Spreckels Elementary School librarian Libby Foucht who still believes that one of the best ways of turning non-readers into readers is to read aloud to them, according to this Jan. 3 story from the California.com. Of note:

Foucht has worked as a librarian for 30 years, and she has been at Spreckels for the past 18 years. One of the duties of being librarian, although most librarians would say it is one of the job’s perks, is reading as much new material as possible. Foucht has so many favorite authors that she keeps their titles on small cards fastened to a large ring holder. Some of the novels on the ring include The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken, Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix, My Father’s Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett and a baseball story by John Bellairs called [The] Eyes of the Killer Robot.
