Analine Johnson, librarian for Centeno Elementary School, was recognized by the School Library Journal (SLJ), during their first ever Book Trailee Awards. The journal is the largest reviewer of books, multimedia, and technology for children and teens. Most recently, the SLJ reviewed book trailers that motivate students to read and those who create them. Four out of twenty-four nominated videos were Johnson's. Two were nominated in the "adult created for elementary category" ("14 Cows for America" by Carmen Agra Deedy and "Home of the Brave" by Katherine Applegate), and two were nominated for the "adult created for the secondary category" ("All the Lovely Bad Ones" by Mary Downing Hahn, and "The Darkness Under the Water" by Beth Kannell). The SLJ recognitions are a first for a UISD Librarian.
Sandra Benavides, director of Professional and Staff Development, Library Science, and Special Projects said, "We are all so proud of Johnson's dedicated efforts to continually promote reading."
