Resources ALA invites all library users to nominate their favorite librarians for the prestigious I Love My Librarian Award<https://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2021/06/nominations-are-now-open-i-…>. The national award recognizes librarians working in public, school, college, community college, or university libraries for their outstanding public service contributions. Nominations are accepted online now through Sept. 27, 2021. ALSC has announced their Graphic Novels Reading List<https://www.ala.org/alsc/publications-resources/book-lists/graphicnovels202…> for 2021, available for K-2, 3-5, and 6-8 grades! As part of the #Newbery100 celebration, ALA asked Newbery-winning illustrators for their take on the Newbery medal! Exclusive merch featuring art from Cece Bell, Kevin Henkes, Grace Lin, Jerry Craft, and Victoria Jamieson is now available on the ALA Gift Shop<https://bit.ly/specialnewbery100merch>. https://bit.ly/specialnewbery100merch Reminder: STARnet’s STEM Activity Clearinghouse<http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/> has great activities & resources for libraries. In the STEM Activity Clearinghouse, librarians and library staff can find high quality, vetted STEM activities that are appropriate for library use. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. You can search by audience, content level, and difficulty, among others. You can also browse collections that we've curated just for you! Almost all the activities in the Clearinghouse have pictures or videos of real libraries doing these activities. Activities developed outside the STAR_Net Project will include tips and tricks for implementing in your library, and will link you back to the original source content so you can explore more. Learning for Justice’s Speak Up at School Guide<https://www.learningforjustice.org/magazine/publications/speak-up-at-school>, a Southern Poverty Law Center project Many of the questions we [Learning for Justice] receive for our magazine column “Ask Teaching Tolerance” are from educators seeking advice about how to respond when someone—a student, a colleague, even a parent—uses biased language or stereotypes in school. This guide<https://www.tolerance.org/sites/default/files/2019-04/TT-Speak-Up-Guide_0.p…> is our response. It’s for educators who want to develop the skills to speak up themselves and who want to help their students ﬁnd the courage to speak up too. This guide is for the adults in the school. It offers advice about how to respond to remarks made by students and by other adults and gives guidance for helping students learn to speak up as well. We believe that modeling the kind of behavior we want from students is one of the most effective ways of teaching it. Includes a pocket guide<https://www.learningforjustice.org/sites/default/files/general/speak_up_poc…> for educators and students, too.
