Get to know your public and school librarians. They are experts at selecting materials that correspond to a child s age, interests and abilities. Introduce your children to their librarians and encourage them to seek help from the library staff when assistance is needed. If you have questions or concerns about a book, discuss them with a librarian or teacher. Either may be able to help you understand why the material is being used or provide an alternative for your child.
