Not Just Books: DC School Librarian Creates a Sanctuary for Students
Subject
School Librarian; DC; Christopher Stewart
Description
Libraries across the country have become a political battleground, but it’s a sanctuary at Bell High School in Columbia Heights. The school’s award-winning librarian, Christopher Stewart, is among the 7% of librarians who are black in a field that is nearly 87% white, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Stewart shows NBC4 the space he created for students to not only read books and study but dream big and feel loved.
