Locally, she has a more immediate agenda-how to detour trucks around Newark, both on the short and the long term, and the development of bike paths in the area. Her main interest is education, she said. One of the best laws passed in this session is the expansion of parent education throughout the state. Parents need to know it's important to play with their babies, hang bright-colored things over their cribs, give them simple things to manipulate and explore. As a professional librarian, Wojewodzki also has an interest in public and school libraries.
Libraries are one place where everyone, rich or poor, has access to information, free of charge.
Serving as a member of the Governor's Task Force for School Libraries, she pointed out that surveys have shown that schools with good libraries produce good students. School librarians should function as such and not just as caretakers of children, so that students can learn to do research and investigate topics. Wojewodzki gives the General Assembly high marks. We are lucky in Delaware. Part of my job at the University is to work with the public on women's and family issues, and this dovetails with many of my involvements in the house.
