The Penguin Random House High School Collections gives educators the opportunity to go beyond the literary canon to incorporate a wide range of texts that represent different experiences, characters, and cultures we have in our schools. Unifying themes including belonging, identity, and resiliency also allows teachers to make connections to current curricula. These sixteen empowering text Collections and the included comprehensive Educator Handbook provide teachers with the books and resources to diversify and enrich reading environments for all students. Each Grade-Level Collection includes: 45 Fiction and Nonfiction Books (fifteen titles – three copies each) allow students to read the same text, but even students who read different titles can still connect with one another and share their collective reading experiences. Educator Handbook provides pedagogical resources to help educators incorporate the themes into their curriculum/ELA block including suggested activities, thematic connections, and essential questions.

Specialized academic librarians are the unsung heroes of higher education. They are the dedicated professionals who go beyond the call of duty to support students and faculty in their scholarly pursuits. With expertise in various disciplines, these librarians are not just custodians of information but are active participants in the academic journey of their institutions. Whether it's a science librarian aiding in complex research or an art librarian curating resources for creative projects, their specialized knowledge is invaluable. They bridge the gap between vast resources and the specific needs of the academic community, ensuring that every query is met with precision and depth. Let's celebrate the specialized academic librarians who enrich our educational experiences and contribute to the advancement of knowledge and research. Their work may often be behind the scenes, but it is absolutely central to the success of students and educators alike. #AcademicLibrarians #HigherEducation #LibraryScience
