Pinborough, Jan Miss Moore Thought Otherwise: How Anne Carroll
Moore Created Libraries for Children, illustrated by Debby Atwell. Houghton, 2013. $17.
PICTURE BOOK. NONFICTION. Content: G.
Modern children would probably be surprised to learn that there was a
time when children weren’t allowed to checkout books from the library. Miss Moore’s story is indicative of the
pioneering work done by women around the country to bring libraries to children
by building their collections and making special rooms just for them to read,
listen and enjoy. She and these other
woman did herculean work to bring the importance of children’s librarianship to
the attention of the world. While this
book is of particular interest to librarians, of course, it is also a very
excellent opportunity for a lesson.
