All the World’s a Stage for Librarian Peter Turner

Storytelling has long been used as a tool to educate and entertain. At the Greensboro Central Library, that tradition is embraced and practiced daily by Peter Turner – who has served as the branch’s children’s librarian for going on 10 years.

UNCG Alumna Emerges as a Library Leader

Dawn Shirk ’23, a library media specialist with Guilford County Schools, says that a school library is the heart of the institution. “When I was a teacher, I collaborated with the librarian a lot. Even if we weren’t in the middle of a specific project, I could come in and say, ‘Here’s what I’m planning. Can you help me find some good books or websites? How would you do this?’”
