Zsa Zsa Booker plans to get a Ph.D. and eventually teach urban librarianship when she completes her master's studies at Wayne State University next month. "It's more than just how to work in the library, but how to work in an urban setting," said Booker, 26. "In a lot of urban settings, there are issues with illiteracy. I want to teach how to work with urban students, urban patrons. My concentration is in academic libraries because I want to ultimately become a professor. ... But I'd like to teach urban librarianship." Booker is earning her master's in library and information science, all while working in WSU's Academic Success Center. There, she conducts workshops and does one-on-one counseling with students. And the Detroit native, who graduated from the Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts, now the Detroit School of the Arts, says she owes some thanks for her continuing studies to Bookstock.
