Dr. Steven L. Layne
 When
you hear the words Passionate About Reading spoken in a room
filled with teachers and librarians, the name Steve Layne is
likely to roll quickly off of someone’s tongue. Whether he’s
keynoting a library conference in New Hampshire, training
pre-service teachers at Judson College in Illinois, presenting a
seminar in Alaska, talking with school children on Guam, or just
going one-on-one with a new acquaintance at the local Starbucks
- his contagious love for books spills out and over into
everything he does. He is, in the words of a recent seminar
participant, “the most powerful instrument of change to cross my
path in 30+ years working in the schools.”
Steve’s mission statement is simple and
hasn’t changed since he began speaking as an educator and author
several years ago. “Building lifetime readers is what it’s all
about for reading teachers and librarians. If we aren’t doing
that - what are we doing? We have to be about this business with
every fiber of our being. Infectious - that’s what they should
call us! Professionally speaking, from my perspective at least,
there isn’t time for much else.”
