No Surprise To Librarians
It is not a shock to librarians that teachers do not read children's literature. Many education programs do not require teachers to take a children's literature class. Many times when librarians try and introduce new authors or titles to teachers they are met with blank stares and sometimes hostility.

"Research into teachers' reading habits by the Centre for Literacy and Primary Education (CLPE) has found that many do not regularly read children's literature, and tend to choose books from a narrow band of authors."
