Two blog posts in a row about our Library becoming a Risk-free House for our LGBTQIA+ kiddos. Why? For the reason that we are aggressively passionate about staying allies to our young ones. Also, the information is chock whole of alarming illustrations exactly where mother and father, university districts, and communities are NOT supporting the independence to study. The democratic independence to give ALL children the decision to locate publications without having censorship or boundaries.
It boils my blood! Why does it appear like we are likely backwards with FREADom to read through?
So, I wanted to give you (expensive reader!) an example of our Delight Thirty day period guide display screen, our record of Fiction textbooks, and how we boost it to our kiddos. Most of this publish is copied from our Daring College Library Weblog, Instagram posts, &
what I shared by our Canvas group announcement.
Just one of my most respected Library friends, Laura C. Davies (Love her!) who I fulfilled when I was keynoting the ASTE Tech Meeting in Anchorage Alaska experienced this to say on my Instagram post:
lauracdavies Commented:
“Yes! I have my possess classroom library, entire of diverse textbooks,
and for the initially time in my profession I basically puzzled if somebody
would complain about my choice. I am heading to retain on bringing new
textbooks into my classroom mainly because pupils who will need textbooks that encourage
inclusion know in which they can obtain them.”
