Dean Turner Takes the Library on the Road

Hillendahl Neighborhood Library Service Specialist Dean Turner presented Edgar Allan Poe's perennial favorite "The Raven" to 5 English classes at Northbrook High School in November 2010. Dean was gratified and delighted that no matter how vociferous the classes were before the reading, the students listened in silence once he commenced. He also introduced these classes to Tutor.com and the Teen Health and Wellness database. Last school year, Dean was invited to perform monologues from Arthur Miller's classic "The Crucible" for these classes, and he hopes to reprise this presentation this year. Also in November, Dean visited the Boys and Girls Club in Spring Branch, where he presented booktalks to a girls' group. In October, Dean visited the Brookhollow Adult Day Care and Activity Center with Collier LSS Krista Lewis-Abedrabbo, where Krista and Dean read spooky selections and conducted a craft.
