Review the image below and consider what it tells us about representation in the children's book publishing industry.
For those attending the zoom session.
- Be prepared to have a conversation about what you think about the pros and cons of banning books, if you agree/disagree with how content in libraries should be seen as mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors, and your awareness of the lack of diversity in children’s books.
- During our zoom session, Librarians Karl and Sarah will discuss your thoughts about these resources and how you could apply this knowledge into your classroom/organization. They will also share perspectives from formerly working in public and school libraries prior to working for the NSU Libraries.
For those NOT attending the zoom Session.
- Write a reflection on the pros and cons of banning books, if you agree/disagree with how content in libraries should be seen as mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors, and your awareness of the lack of diversity in children’s books. Please also share how you could apply this knowledge within your classroom/organization.
