Interested in learning more about our research on how to support parenting students in higher education? Listen to our recent podcast episode on the New Books Network (https://rb.gy/e0e9ad)! And, of course, our book is available for purchase (https://rb.gy/gnmfex). Supporting student parents in higher education is a vital topic not only for academic librarians, but for all administration, faculty, and staff in higher education. **About the book** Parents are a socioeconomically, racially, and financially diverse group. What they have in common is the drive to work hard to overcome steep barriers in obtaining a college education. Supporting Student Parents in the Academic Library: Designing Spaces, Policies, and Services is part toolkit, part treatise, and part call to action. In four parts: The Higher Education LandscapeThe Role of Academic LibrariesLooking Outward to Community, For-Profit, and International OrganizationsEvaluating Needs and Measuring Success It includes templates, sample policy language, budgets, survey instruments, and other immediately useful tools and examples. There are field notes from academic librarians from institutions of varying sizes and resources demonstrating different ways of supporting these students, and the voices of students themselves. Student parents can feel unwelcome and invisible in their institutions. And for every student parent who is struggling to complete an education despite these hurdles, there are many others who have not been able to find a way. Supporting Student Parents is a guide to engaging with and aiding the student parents in your libraries and leading the charge in making your institutions more family friendly. #libraries #library #librarians #highereducation #studentsuccess #studentparents #parentingstudents #acrl #dei

The book "Ban This Book" by Alan Grat was challenged by Jennifer Pippen a very vocal member of the Moms for Liberty group in Indian River County. As required by state statute, this book went through the challenge process and the review committee determined to keep the book on the shelves of Indian River school libraries. Even the #MomsForLiberty, "book review" site "Book Looks," which rates books on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the least objectionable, they rated this book a 1 with the only "concern" being that the book encourages activism of young children, doesn't find this book objectionable. Yet, the Indian River County School Board has chosen to go against its own review committee and has banned/ removed a book about book bans from their schools because it references books that have been removed from their schools and accused the book of "teaching rebellion of school board authority." Author #AlanGratz had this to say: the removal of this book is "incredibly ironic. They banned the book because it talks about the books that they have banned and because it talks about book banning. It feels like they know exactly what they're doing and they're somewhat ashamed of what they're doing, and they don't want a book on the shelves that calls them out." When will this madness stop. Those that seek to prevent the dissemination of information are NEVER on the right side of history. As librarian, Jo Godwin said "A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone." Not every book is for every person, and no one is required to read every book on the library shelves. Just because you personally disagree with what's written in a book doesn't make the book inappropriate to keep on library shelves. This book has been positively reviewed by Booklist, Kirkus, Publisher's Weekly, and School Library Journal. All recommend this book for students in grades 3 - 6. It seems that the "free" state of Florida is only free if you believe what those in charge tell you to believe, if you have a dissenting opinion the state is not one of freedom but instead one of tyranny. #StopTheBookBans #FreePeopleReadFreely Florida Library Association, Inc.

Awards for children’s books have been integral to the recognition of children’s books as literature and not just tools for pedagogy, and in fact the growth of western children’s literature is closely linked to awards such as the Caldecott and the Newberry. In India, the limited space for reviewing and talking about children’s literature makes book awards an important way in which awareness grows about what’s being published. Awards are also ways of valuing certain tastes and are sometimes critiqued as forms of reinforcing cultural elitism. In the context of children’s literature, this is also intertwined with the idea of fashioning the child into an ideal based on adult perspectives. So, can there be ways of making place for children’s voice even in this task of awarding books created for them? How can we imagine a collaborative process that allows children agency? How do we recognize children’s labour in such processes? There are perhaps no easy answers to these questions but as longlists and shortlists for children’s literature awards are starting to trickle in, it is a good time to share May Children Decide: Child and teen juries in literary prizes by the CHILDCULTURES project, headed by Dr Macarena Garcia Gonzalez, at the University of Glasgow. This survey of book awards that make place for children’s voice has examined the growth, spread and methodologies of 20 such awards. The survey was launched in partnership with IBBY, the International Board of Books for Young People, and IBBY-Cat, the Catalonian section of IBBY. Findings from the survey are presented in easy to comprehend infographics, available for free download.

School libraries and librarians are the backbone of academic success, yet they often don't get the recognition they deserve in public education. Did you know that over 50 years of research, spanning more than 60 studies, consistently show that students with access to well-resourced school libraries and certified librarians perform better academically? Beyond boosting academic performance, school libraries provide a nurturing space for students to ignite their love for reading, hone their digital literacy, sharpen research skills, and improve core academic abilities. They are vital in shaping strong, civically engaged learners.

Bredec Group Bredec Group Show HN: A curated literature program for K-12: Pageturners is a new product for school-going students from Great Books Homeschool, which I started based on my experience designing a secular literature-based homeschooling curriculum for my kids. Schools typically don’t allocate enough time to simply reading great books, and the majority of students don’t read for enjoyment. As a result, kids don’t get the exposure to literature that they need to read more challenging works in college. Pageturners aims to fill in the gap with a curated reading program that gently progresses from picture books in kindergarten to adult classic literature in high school. It’s customizable but starts with sensible defaults that include the most iconic works of children’s literature and Great Books, both classic and contemporary. The kindergarten level is free. For other levels, there's a free trial and it's currently priced at $3.99/month paid annually thereafter. --- Comments URL: https://lnkd.in/dA9XSxUg Points: 1 # Comments: 0 info@bredec.com Inquiry@bredec.com
