A Very Welcoming Place: The School Library Is the Heart of This Alaskan Bush School Beset by Bugs, Bears, and a Battered Economy.
Sherman, Lee
Northwest Education, v9 n1 p8-13 Fall 2003
In remote Bristol Bay (Alaska), award-winning librarian Tiki Levinson built a library program that inspired students to read and teachers to embrace new resources for their classrooms. She recommends new books and Web sites to students and teachers and searches avidly for new resources that might pique a child's interest or meet a teacher's needs. The full-time librarian's job is endangered by district budget cuts. (TD)
