Joel A. Nichols, MSLIS, is the data strategy and evaluation administrator at the Free Library of Philadelphia, where he has previously worked as a children's librarian and branch manager.

The activities discussed would be perfect for public libraries, but could also be used as everyday projects in middle and high schools. . . . You could literally pick up the book and be ready to do a lesson in minutes. These are great lessons that focus on Common Core Skills, not just simply having fun. . . . This book doesn't just tell you what to do; it tells you how to do it. Highly recommended.
