Happy Drop Everything and Read Day! I’m thrilled that my friend, librarian Beimnet Baissa, is here to talk about some of her favorite books, current trends in middle grade books, as well as offer some suggestions for encouraging lifetime readers.
About Beimnet: Beimnet grew up in Minnesota before moving to North Carolina in high school. She graduated from UNC Chapel Hill (Go Heels!) and began teaching middle school. When she learned that the middle school librarian planned to retire, she took it as a sign and got her graduate degree in library sciences. She has now been a middle school librarian for 4 years.
