“It is an awfully sad misconception that librarians simply check books ...” — Jarrett J. Krosoczka Quote

“It is an awfully sad misconception that librarians simply check books in and out. The library is the heart of a school, and without a librarian, it is but an empty shell.”

“As somebody who visits countless schools, I see firsthand the dire situation our educational system faces.”

“My name is Jarrett Krosoczka, and I write and illustrate books for children for a living. So I use my imagination as my full-time job.”

“None of the jazz greats made music for the purpose of you going to check out music before them. Michael Jackson didn't make music so you could go check out Sam Cooke.”

“With security, in the early days, we would just have firewalls and you'd check who could come into the network and who could not.”

“I get up, get coffee, and go into my home office. I check email and Twitter before I start work, but I have to try not to get too distracted.”
