Radical School Librarianship: A Global Response

This book is an essential read for school librarians and educators looking to gain a better understanding of actions taken to create environments where EDIIF can thrive.

School librarians perform a critical and frontline role in defending EDIIF within their school communities. This comprehensive volume invites readers to learn from the experiences of school librarian leaders from around the globe in order to find inspiration, support, and strategies to continue promoting EDIIF. Each chapter addresses a particular way to take action. Bringing exemplary practices from Australia, Croatia, Ecuador, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, South Africa, Türkiye, the UK and US, chapters cover topics such as how:

• to best serve immigrant and refugee students;
• to celebrate readers and reading LGBTQIA+ books and authors;
• literacy is promoted within inequitable educational landscapes;
• diversity and intellectual freedom are supported through book awards and social media; and
• librarians respond to changing social and political environments to ensure equity, diversity, inclusion, and intellectual freedom in their learning communities.
