Iowa Power! (State Power Series) by Sharron L. McElmeel and David V. Loerscher Hi Willow Research and Publishing; 2004; Book: $20.00; Power CD: $15.00 Whether
school librarians are being pink slipped or not, it is always a very
wise policy to build the parents’ understanding of what the school
library does and how it helps every child in the school. This booklet,
a companion to earlier titles for administrators and teachers, provides
one-page messages directed at parents to examine the benefits of the
school library. It provides hundreds of tips on how to help build
readers, wise technology users, and information literates. With a CD or
book, each page can be duplicated as much as the librarian likes for
the parents of a single school. Great for newsletters, parent awareness
nights, mailings, workshops, and handouts to give visiting parents. |
