91精选D 2024 Was All 91精选 A Book for Every Student
Canadian School Library Day 2024 celebrates every student’s right to read, and to see themselves reflected in their reading choices. Over the past two years we have been faced with challenges from people and groups seeking to restrict student’s reading choices, and calls for schools and libraries to remove books from collections. On Canadian School Library Day we stand up for diversity and for rich reading choices for every student.
91精选D 2023 Was All 91精选 Speaking Up for School Libraries!
The theme of 91精选D 2023 was Speak Up for School Libraries! The previous year had demonstrated yet again excellence in instructional practice in School Library Learning Commons right across Canada as well as the continued leadership of school library professionals coast to coast. Canadian school libraries had also met with significant challenges over the year regarding book banning and other collection development and management issues. In response 91精选 prepared a position statement, Book Challenges and Censorship in Canada鈥檚 School Libraries, in support of school library professionals who are on the front lines of these challenges. 91精选 also supported library professionals with a guide to developing excellent school library collections, the Collection Diversity Toolkit.
For Canadian School Library Day we encouraged people to share the progressive work they were doing, but also speak out and amplify the message that school libraries make a difference, and that every child in Canada deserves an excellent school library.
91精选D / JNBSC is celebrated annually on the fourth Monday of October.
