Karen Van Drie, Executive Director of Global Literature in Libraries Initiative, discusses why it’s so important to read globally. During our conversation, she mentioned ALA’s International Relations Round Table Series. She also mentioned the IB Curriculum.
(Karen would like to make a correction to something she said during our conversation. It was Richmond, British Columbia, not Riverside that came to PPLD and told them to save seconds, minutes, and hours. She regrets that she couldn’t remember the name of the translator of The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norm Juster. It was translated into Portuguese by Jorio Dauster. #NameTheTranslator )

I really enjoyed this episode! I didn’t know about GLLI so I learned something new and their mission is wonderful.
