Hi All - We are working on new text selection policies and want to implement some tools to help us vet books we purchase for our libraries. Does anyone know of a tool that already exists or a place that provides PD on text selection, protocols for classroom vs school libraries, etc.? As we all know there are challenges happening everywhere and we want to be ready. We are hoping that tools already exist so we don't have to recreate the wheel. Any information you can provide or share would be appreciated. I have looked at what is on the ALA website and we will definitely use that, just wondering if anyone has something else they have found useful to this process. We would also be open to reading policies from other districts if you're willing to share.
Thank you!
