Global Reading To: ccbc-net_at_lists.wisc.edu
For the first part of June, we are talking about "Global Reading," books that relate in one way or another to he 2011 Summer Library Program Theme in many communities around the United States: "One World, Many Stories" (and "You Are Here" for teens).
It's an idea that lends itself to celebrating everything from our multicultural society to individual voices and experiences around the world. During the first half of June, we'll focus on children's and young adult literature set in places around the world, or that celebrates the connections between global and local in the lives of children and teens here in the United States.
Thanks to Marc Aronson and Ed Sullivan, who gave us a head start on our discussion for the first part of June by sharing a few "Global Reading" resources. I'll add two more:
the CCBC's own "Global Reading" bibliography:
280
and the Mildred L. Batchelder Award of the Association for Library Service to Children of the American Library Association:
rd/index.cfm
I'm sure many of you in public libraries have been thinking about "One World, Many Stories" for a number of months. And I know that trade books illuminating dimensions of life in other parts of the world are often sought out by teachers and school librarians.
Are there any specific titles that you can't wait to share when it comes to "global reading"?
