Ann Ewbank: Mover and Shaker (Podcast)

April 3, 2009 · All locations, podcasts, West campus · 1 comment

Ann EwbankHost Fred McIlvain welcomes special guest Dr. Ann Dutton Ewbank, Education Liason Librarian, to talk about being named one of fifty Library Journal ”Movers and Shakers.”  She is joined by Jennifer Duvernay, ASU Libraries Marketing and Outreach Officer, also named a Mover and Shaker in 2005, who reflects on the significance of this honor.

Ann talks about her continued work to promote and educate the public, especially lawmakers, on the value of teacher-librarians in K-12 schools. Ann is a founding member of Fund Our Future Arizona which was originally organized in response to the proposal by Mesa Public School District to eliminate all certified teacher-librarian positions in the district, replacing them with lower qualified resource center specialists who would manage the library space and collections. Their well publicized initiative ultimately failed as the Mesa Public School District chose to continue with their planned budget reduction, but group’s goal to “to create strong school libraries for every child in the state” continues.
