Sinopsis

Though librarians, educators, and other professionals who serve children and teens continuously strive towards equitable outcomes that help kids heal, grow, and flourish, it can be a challenge to settle upon small, actionable steps for moving forward. This collection shares a rainbow of ideas, initiatives, and activities for promoting joyful, supportive learning for every child. It gathers contributions from thought-leaders and advocates working with youth outside the realm of the public library, collecting their expertise, best practices, and recent research. With examples applicable in a variety of settings, from this book readers will

  • find concrete ways to spark happiness, kindle curiosity, and deepen learning in kids;
  • receive guidance on building authentic relationships and humble partnerships with children and communities;
  • learn about real-world examples that explore becoming a "trusted messenger" to new parents, Reach Out and Read at Lurie Children’s Hospital, food literacy, trauma-responsive library services, nature and Indigenous wisdom, using gaming to foster literacy, countering misinformation in the Black Community, technology-based play, STEM learning, summer programs, and many others; and
  • discover five action items at the conclusion of each essay that will enrich their work and their organizations.
