Other Important Links
Diverse Book Toolkit: As you infuse diverse, inclusive, and culturally relevant materials into fiction and nonfiction reading experiences, this toolkit helps analyze collections, identify and bring to life diverse texts, and encourage reflection on cultural representation.
Professional Exploration: Take a deep dive into the world of children's and young adult books. Explore by author, awards, diversity, genres, literacy, standards, new titles, and reader's advisory.
Library Programming: Enrich your children and teen programming with these activities, resources, and tools. (Mrs. Diaz finds these links to be of particular interest)
Book Promotion: Instantly connect all of your students to audio, video, and other digital materials that bring books to life. After selecting a title, booklist, or resource, you'll be able to print (and translate to 100+ languages) bookmarks, flyers, labels, or shelf-talkers that offer immediate digital connections to these books and materials. (Also of great interest to Mrs. Diaz - let her know what you'd like to see in the library for your students.)
