Civics education is “on the books” in all 50 states, yet civic
illiteracy is astonishingly widespread, to the point only one-third
of twelfth graders can explain the significance of the Declaration
of Independence. Lending library and education leaders, school and
public librarians, change agents, policy makers and politicians an
inquiry not only into the historical and philosophical foundations
of civics education, but also into the reasons for its alarming
demise, this text explores the recommendations of civics education
leaders, researchers, and scholars across the nation. The need for
a return to early twentieth century civics education practices is
detailed, along with the traditional and present-day role of
America's libraries in developing a civic-minded populace. As a
landmark hybrid treatise/practice guide, as well as a means to an
end, the second half of the book urges school and public librarians
to utilize high-interest trade books and carefully evaluated
websites to immediately integrate civics education practices within
educational and youth services offerings. Carefully constructed
questions eliciting civic discussion, as well as detailed civic
action/service project suggestions, are provided for all grade
levels, along with civic-oriented reading promotion plans,
collection development best practices, grant writing options, and
extended units of learning.
