  • Librarians on the Job

    Mary Austen

    Library Binding (Greenhaven Publishing LLC, Jan. 1, 2017)
    A library is a popular part of a community, and the people who work there are important community helpers. Young readers learn about the many ways librarians help people through clear, age-appropriate text. The facts they learn about librarians and libraries enhance their understanding of common curriculum topics about careers, community helpers, and places in the community. These facts are presented alongside full-color photographs of librarians at work. The close relationship between the pictures and text helps foster strong reading comprehension skills, and a picture glossary aids in vocabulary development.
