What Teachers Make

Insert “librarian” where needed

What do librarians make?

They make sure there are books for ALL readers.

They make sure they provide EVERYONE the opportunity to recommend books to add to the collection.

They make sure intellectual freedom is not just a concept.

They make sure their doors are open.

They play an essential role in learning.

Ensuring access

Access to all forms

• Not just levels and lexiles

• Level of abstraction required

• Literary elements such as flashback, symbolism, foreshadowing

• Themes

Intellectual

On a fine summer morning during the days of the Puritans, the prison door in the small New England town of B----n opened to release a convicted adulteress, the Scarlet Letter A embroidered on her dress, along with the Scarlet Letters B through J, a veritable McGuffey's Reader of Scarlet Letters, one for each little tyke waiting for her at the gate.
