Librarians take extra steps to keep students engaged in reading LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WLKY) — It’s not just school teachers, tutors and parents doing the hard work — going above and beyond — of making sure students continue learning amid a worldwide pandemic. The curb might not be your typical location for a school library, but during a pandemic, librarians like Michelle Chandler are doing whatever they can so children can keep reading. Chandler sets up a curbside book exchange during meal pickups at Foster Elementary. She explained the idea is to give students a break from the stresses of COVID-19 by just getting them alone with a book.
