[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Fwd: Reading in Uncertain Times

[Jennifer Rocca]

It’s really nice they are allowing this for the younger grades.

My high schoolers are still going to have a hard time finding books, however. There are lots of individual places to find downloadable texts but whole class reads are pretty much out (unless they're classics).

Tomorrow I’ll start helping teachers find the books they need for kids but I’m sure many of them will secretly give kids illegal pdf copies they find online because our options are limited.

In today’s EH, we look at how publishers are altering their policies for online read-alouds, one librarian’s quest to make social-emotional needs (for staff and students) as important as tech issues and lesson plans, and a newly planned virtual book festival.

We’re looking into online book clubs, how different districts are providing for those who are food insecure, what library aides are doing now, and the situation at public libraries that remain open.
