Changing Times, Changing Titles: Books for Today’s School Communities
Session D4 1:20-2:05
Session Description:
Québec Reading Connection is pleased to present our online, curated collection of children’s and young adult literature selections for pedagogical use, to share information about some favourite books, and to provide guidance for using our website. Do you keep resources about “sensitive” topics in your library? Why or why not? Offering students access to sensitive topics is an important role for the school library to play. QRC has suggestions for Sexuality Education, Residential schools and Truth and Reconciliation, Newcomer experiences, and other potentially sensitive topics. Bring one of your own recommendations to share as well!
