Public librarian Nina Lindsay explained that  implementing Common Core is not responsibility of public librarians. Though it is not responsibility public librarians are accountable to their communities. Olga Nesi discusses that it is important that public librarians are aware of Common Core State Standards being that students make up a large portion of their patrons. It is also important considering that Common Core is national. Public Librarians are learning more about materials and educators specifically for students to use.

Opinion:

This interview is impressive and enjoyed seeing perspective of different types of librarians. It seems as though both school librarians and public librarians are both learning more about CCSS. Public librarians will learn more by reaching out to fellow school librarian counterparts.
