Responsible Reading in Middle School:

In a library that serves students ranging in ages from eleven to fourteen, a wide variety of materials is needed. What is interesting and appropriate for eleven-year-olds may not be interesting or appropriate for fourteen-year-olds and vice versa. Libraries are all about choice. I tell our students that if a book makes them uncomfortable or it would make their parents uncomfortable, please return it and find a book they can completely enjoy. I encourage parents and students to have discussions at home about what students are reading and practice self-censorship so that we can all enjoy the books we select. I put a great deal of time and effort into selecting books that are award-winning, well-written, appropriate, and of middle school interest, and I use a wide range of book review sources to form a decision before adding it to our shelves. My passion is to get good books into students' hands and create life-long readers!
