7. Some Additional B.E.A.C.H. Reading At the end of my presentation, I promised to share with you some additional readings/resources on these topics. Thanks to great work by Suzanne Sannwald--our wonderful Library Services Supervisor (and all-around Library Guru)—we now have a terrific “Library Program Resources” page on our Virtual Library Learning Commons. There you will find links to the Model School Library Standards, the Common Core Standards, AASL’sStandards for the 21st-Century Learner, and an outstanding collection of research and professional development resources for teacher-librarians and others. You may access this site by clicking on the icon below: One item that I mentioned is not on this site—the article by Seth Godin, where he writes about “The Future of the Library.” It really is fascinating reading! Here’s the link to Seth’s blog: Seth Godin on “The Future of the Library”
