REINBERGER FOUNDATION GIFT TO

KENT STATE UNIVERSITY SLIS

Kent State University's School of Library and Information Science
received a gift of $240,000 from the Reinberger Foundation of Cleveland
for the construction of a unique national center dedicated to training librarians who
specialize in services for children, young adults and school
librarianship. The gift was announced in anticipation of National
Library Week (April 14-20).

"The Children's Resource Center will offer an environment similar to
achildren's or elementary school library complete with books,
multimedia, puppets and a storytelling area," said Associate Professor
Dr. Carolyn S.Brodie, who has built the School of Library and
Information Science's collection of materials for youth, and is a
co-recipient of the Reinberger gift. Brodie recently served as chair of
the 2000 John Newbery Award Committee.

The Children's Resource Center will be unique among the nation's library
schools and will serve as a model classroom for library science programs
for children's librarians. The Center is designed to be much more than a
university classroom and will include a children's

resource area that will house more than

5,000 children's books, materials, and resources to
create a focal point for instruction in children's, young adult, and
school librarianship.

The 1,700-square-foot resource center will also
include a wireless computer network installed with specialized software
and other resources used in children's and school libraries. For more
information contact Megan Harding, (330) 672-0419.
