    Do your Latinx ELL students see themselves in the books they are reading? I've shared this post from the Primary Sources in the School Library group, but I think this should interest anyone who teaches ELL!

    How does your Latinx library garden grow? By thinking strategically about gaps and opportunities in your collection, right? 

    There's a webinar from the Library of Congress on Oct. 11th at 6:00 p.m. ET that should be of interest to school librarians. Here's the description:

    Join the Hispanic Reading Room at the Library of Congress and Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP) in a virtual celebration of children’s and YA Latin American and Latinx literature. Hear from authors amplifying stories and voices from across Latin American and Latinx communities for young readers. We invite families, educators, and students to take part in this unique celebration during Hispanic Heritage Month.

    This live virtual program will feature award-winning authors Angela Burke Kunkel (Digging for Words: José Alberto Gutiérrez and the Library He Built), Aida Salazar (Land of the Cranes), and Yamile Saied Méndez (Furia).
