In a keynote delivered by Dr. Mark Edwards, superintendent of Mooresville (NC) Graded School District, at the 10th annual School Library Journal Leadership Summit (October 25-26) in St. Paul, MN, Edwards, the 2013 Superintendent of the Year, highlighted works that have inspired him during his groundbreaking tenure at Mooresville. Many of these titles resonated with the audience that included dynamic teacher librarians, administrators, and other school library stakeholders. Edwards professed that these books were especially influential during the monumental evolution of the Mooresville school system, a process that was chronicled in the New York Times and other publications. SLJ presents Edwards’ selections—books that can serve as part of professional development sessions for schools and libraries—and go toward personal development and education.
