How Nancy Pearl Became America's Most Celebrated Librarian by Karen Henry Clark

T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
Nancy Pearl became one of the most celebrated librarians in the country... A renowned public speaker, reading consultant, host of Book Lust, and a regular contributor to NPR's Morning Edition.
And it all started when a public librarian made a commitment to introduce children to inspiring children's literature and took an interest in Nancy as a young girl, offering her encouragement to discover her dreams thru reading books... And to keep reading until she found it!
Nancy encapsulated her life in a challenge she accepted to write her story as a six-word memoir: "Girl discovers books, then discovers life."
Perfect for encouraging young readers to embrace what matters most to them... Once you find it, keep your eyes on the prize and run full speed ahead!...
I still remember and am grateful for the impact my elementary school librarian, Ms. Joy Pope, had on my life... Thank you forever, Ms. Pope... ♡
And a photo of my first public library in my hometown lives on my computer home screen... One glance is all it takes to pull me back to those first magical reading adventures every week in my hometown library.
Starting with picture books and graduating to chapter books in children's fiction... Digging deep to explore each famous children's book, like Charlotte's Web, and embracing both popular children's books and every classic story too... The library was a treasure chest filled with adventures. Taking early readers to a beautifully written magical world or providing a valuable lesson in a heartwarming tale that felt like it was written just for me.
And, as a parent, if you have a reluctant reader — whether a young girl or a young boy — make your librarian your new best friend... She (or he) is always ready and waiting to provide wonderful recommendations for younger readers with an adorable picture book, or a charming story, or to share audience insights to find the perfect match for your little readers.
Hoping you take the time to reconnect to whatever influenced you to discover your dream... Never forget the magic of that discovery... ✨😎✨
