Maritain quote: "Nothing is more important than the events which occur within that invisible universe which is the mind of [a person]. And the light of that universe is knowledge. If we are concerned with the future of civilization we must be concerned primarily with a genuine understanding of what knowledge is, its value, its degrees, and how it can foster the inner unity of the human being" ( The Range of Reason , 1952, p. 3). Engaging and Empowering School Libraries is a membership that aims to support school librarians in teaching through inquiry. This is a public episode.
