Recently named a Library Journal Mover and Shaker for 2013, Matthew is all that and a bag of chips. He has quickly become a known leader in the field of school librarians because of his love and usage of technology and gaming, unbridled enthusiasum, and willingness to share online with others. His Level Up Book Club (along with Jennifer LaGarde) has brought together educators who love video games and want to spread the love of gamification into their classrooms and libraries. Matthew continually comes up with new projects and ways to connect libraries and classrooms across the globe via Skype. (Dot Day, World Read Aloud Day, Poem in Your Pocket Day, among others) Matthew is an amazing librarian whose love of children's literature can be seen in his library, on his blog, and through his social media accounts.
