In March 2015, the ALSC Board of Directors adopted a white paper on Media Mentorship in Libraries Serving Youth. The paper outlines how librarians are well suited to serve as media mentors, and discusses the importance of this role to our communities.
The ALSC Children and Technology Committee is working on an article for Children and Libraries. They would like to include several examples of how librarians are incorporating media mentorship into their roles.
What are you doing already? What do you have planned for the future? Are you doing programming? Having conversations with caregivers? Vetting digital media resources?
