This article is an embarrassment and a misrepresentation of school librarians. Diversity, anyone? We can do better, @WSJ.

Matthew, I was in that room at SCBWI when you spoke and your tone was completely misrepresented in this article. A shame.

Thank you for saying that, Lori. It's been a difficult day.

John, Travis, Colby, & Matthew are great, but kids choose what kids read, not they. They promote *reading*, not specific books.

Sadly, Reston, VA is a pioneer of diversity in the community. Too bad WSJ missed these important influences on our children.

librarianship is 90% female; children's librarianship is even more skewed; yet, you only interviewed men?!
-
excuse me, librarianship as a whole is closer to 80%; the 90% figure is for youth librarians
