Children’s Librarians in the Digital Age – Part I: A Call to Action | The Digital Media Diet

Children’s Librarians in the Digital Age – Part I: A Call to Action | The Digital Media Diet | eBooks in Libraries | Scoop.it

They are also very concerned about the impact of the digital shift on readers of all ages.
