Choosing Children's Literature 2003
A good children's book selection policy is important to avoid censorship challenges and provide guidance for librarians. Selection policies outline the goals for a children's collection and procedures for how books will be chosen. They help defend against accusations of bias and provide transparency in decision making. Some key factors that policies address include developmental appropriateness, appeal to readers, and inclusion of diverse perspectives.
Choosing Children's Literature 2007
A good children's book engages children's imagination, uses fun language and pictures, and keeps children's attention while involving them in the story. It should be developmentally appropriate and stimulate learning. Classroom libraries are important for children to practice reading, but some argue centralized school libraries are more cost effective. Selection policies help guide book choices and address challenges in a transparent way to avoid censorship accusations.
Choosing Children's Literature 2003 version
This document discusses what makes good children's literature through summarizing opinions from various experts and authors. It touches on elements such as engaging language, developmentally appropriate content, stimulating imagination, and being well-written like adult literature.

Children literature: A Potent Tool in the Hands of Absentee Parents
Children literature remains the focus of discussions among those concerned with the positive socialisation of children within the African society. However, how it can serve for the socialisation of children by the home has not been clearly understood. This paper discusses the tangible role children literature can play in the socialisation process. It specifically focuses on the way the absentee parent(s) can effectively use children literature as a tool of child training. It outlined the nature of children literature as it exists in the Nigerian society. It identified some important techniques such as didactism, journey motif, child abuse, characterisation, etc., which writers use to convey their messages in Nigerian children literature. It identified how writers use aesthetics to attract, keep and teach children the needed morality in the society. It concludes by outlining the way that the teacher/parent can effectively bring to life children literature to youngsters and thus engage it for positive socialisation of children within the African social milieu.
Storytime Handbook
The document provides guidance for volunteers conducting preschool storytime programs at local libraries.

Developmentally Appropriate Programming for Babies & Toddlers
Brooke Newberry and I gave a webinar for Infopeople exploring the developmental milestones of the youngest library patrons and how best to support their development through programming.
Choosing Children's Literature
This document discusses several aspects of selecting children's literature, including:
1) What makes an effective children's book depends on the genre - storybooks should have engaging elements while concept books should clearly convey their topic.
2) A good children's book stimulates imagination, uses enjoyable language, has developmentally appropriate content, and keeps children's attention.
3) When helping children choose books, the "Goldilocks strategy" of having them read a few pages and count unfamiliar words helps determine if a book is at their level.
4) Classroom libraries are important for giving students access and practice with reading, but books may become restricted if only available in one classroom. Tracking collections addresses this issue
Boys and literacy (1)
This document discusses the role of technology in literacy education. It notes that while schools now have varying levels of technology integration, from one computer per classroom to a laptop for every student, technology literacy is increasingly important. It argues that modern literacies involve multiple modes beyond just printed text, and that schools need to incorporate new technologies to remain relevant for students whose lives involve digital literacy practices at home. However, it also notes the value of traditional print materials and balanced use of technology and books in classrooms. The focus should be on using a variety of materials to engage students and enhance their learning.

This document discusses the benefits of storytelling for early childhood language development. It provides tips for teachers on selecting stories, telling stories engagingly without books, using picture books, sources of stories, common criteria for choosing stories, different types of stories, techniques for storytelling, creating stories with children, promoting comprehension, using story sequence cards, dictating children's stories, and strategies for reaching reluctant storytellers and English language learners. The overall message is that storytelling promotes literacy skills like vocabulary and narrative abilities in a fun and engaging way for young children.
Boys and Books
The document discusses strategies for engaging boys in reading. It notes that boys tend to prefer visual texts, nonfiction, comics/graphic novels, and genres like action and humor. Boys often view reading as less fun than other activities and value visual elements and quick plots. The document provides tips for selecting texts that appeal to boys' interests, such as fast-paced stories with relatable characters, visual elements, and series they can collect. It also recommends websites with books appealing to boys.
STEP into Storytime
The document discusses StoryTime Effective Practice (STEP), an approach to planning storytimes that promotes child development across four domains: emotional/social, language/literacy, physical, and cognitive. STEP divides storytimes into parts that connect books, rhymes, songs and activities to developmental needs. Examples are provided for how to adapt elements like rhymes, books and flannelboards for different age groups from infants to preschoolers to strengthen skills in each developmental domain.
Marketing the library
This document provides guidance on marketing the library through effective communication strategies. It emphasizes that libraries must promote themselves in order to attract users, as people will not automatically know about improvements or new offerings. The key recommendations are to clearly define the target audience, positioning, promises, and desired actions when marketing the library. Specific tactics discussed include newsletters, displays, events, and finding creative ways to engage both regular and new users. The overall message is that libraries need an intentional promotion plan to build awareness and encourage greater use.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
