In a time of rapidly changing technologies, the role of the youth
services librarian has expanded to include the realm of digital
media. Supporting children's literacy now means serving as a media
mentor. This book empowers youth services staff to confidently
assist families and caregivers as they navigate the digital world,
guiding them towards digital media experiences that will translate
into positive and productive lifelong learning skills, regardless
of format. Melding the latest research and key messages from a
variety of experts with replicable examples, this book: defines
what it means to be a media mentor, providing historical background
and context; outlines three types of media mentorship: media
advisory, programming, and access to curated media; outlines the
implications of media mentorship in libraries, focusing on a shift
from the notion of "screen time" to "healthy media decisions";
draws on detailed case studies from a wide variety of libraries and
community partnerships to showcase inspiring media mentorship in
action with ages 0-14; provides guidelines for working with diverse
families and caregivers; and explores management issues around
media mentorship, ALSC competencies, suggestions of additional
resources, and professional development. Guiding children's
librarians to define, solidify, and refine their roles as media
mentors, this book in turn will help facilitate digital literacy
for children and families.
