- Renaissance Woman: A Portrait of Carolyn Brodie Kenney, Brian Library Education Librarians Library Schools Educational Change Librarian Teacher Cooperation School Libraries In this article, the author profiles Carolyn Brodie, winner of this year's Scholastic Library Publishing Award. One can be completely charmed by Brodie's soft-spoken Arkansas accent, warm demeanor, and genteel manners. While the graciousness is authentic, the woman behind it is fearless, with a clear vision for youth services, remarkable tenacity, unmatchable energy, and an incredibly strong work ethic. Add to these a deep knowledge of children's literature, an enthusiasm for technology, expertise in both school and public libraries, and a terrific dedication to the professionals who work with kids and one will begin to understand the woman who--over the past 20 years--has launched a renaissance in school, children's, and young adult services in the state of Ohio. Brodie grew up in England, Arkansas, and is now a professor at Ohio's Kent State University School of Library and Information Science (SLIS).
