Bryant Wong has been with the New Haven Unified School District in Union City for 29 years. He started as a classroom teacher at Decoto Elementary School, and since then has served as a member on various school committees, a district mentor, and is now a Library Media Specialist at Guy Emanuele Jr. Elementary School.

As a Library Media Specialist, Wong is responsible for helping students be computer literate, develop their research skills and promote literature. In order to encourage his students to read and make stories come alive, Wong dresses in costumes during story time. Wong says by doing so, "it's creative, it's exciting. It motivates them to love literature and encourage them to love education."
