Mr. Schu (AKA John Schu) is a blogger, a part-time lecturer at Rutgers University, and the Ambassador of School Libraries for Scholastic Book Fairs®. Every day is a giant book party for this teacher-librarian! In fact, Library Journal named him “The Xtreme Librarian” for the high level of exertion — along with some gears and stunts — he uses to get kids reading, and Instructor Magazine named him a “Cool Teacher” for rede ning what it means to be a teacher- librarian. John served on the 2014 Newbery committee, which named the
title Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures “the most distinguished contribution to children’s literature.” John is one of the contributors to The Creativity Project: An Awesomeatastic Story Collection and blogs daily at MrSchuReads.com. He also hosts the Scholastic Book Fairs web series Mr.
Schu Goes to the Book Fair and co-edits the Reader Leader blog. Find him on Twitter @MrSchuReads.
