I chose the title “Children and Libraries: Getting Right” by Virginia A. Walter. This book was recommended by School Library Journal as a pivotal book for people who work with/for children in public libraries. Walter's book cover three main points: a historical overview of children’s services, the current state of the profession, and a vision for the future.
This resource helps to support my area of interest in children’s services by providing me with a background and outlook for my future in this division of the public library.
