A Day with @MrSchuReads
John Schumacher (aka Mr. Schu) is a blogger and former teacher-librarian at Brook Forest Elementary School in Oak Brook, Illinois. He has served on ALSC’s Children and Technology committee, AASL’s Best Websites for Teaching and Learning, two Readers’ Choice award committees, and the School Library Month planning committee. You could say every day is a giant book party for this teacher-librarian! In fact, Library Journal named him "The Xtreme Librarian" for the high level of exertion – and some gears and stunts – he uses to get kids reading, and Instructor Magazine named him a Cool Teacher for redefining what it means to be a teacher-librarian. John served on the 2014 Newbery committee, which named Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures "the most distinguished contribution to children's literature." He blogs daily at MrSchuReads.com.
