Intentionally Creating a Safe Space for All: The School Library as Refuge
Wittmann, Paula; Fisher-Allison, Nancy
Knowledge Quest, v48 n3 p40, 42-49 Jan-Feb 2020
This piece focuses on creating a safe space for several subsets of the elementary school student population, including Muslim students, children with autism spectrum disorder, and students with social-emotional challenges. These groups do overlap and intersect, and they are united in their reliance on the library as a refuge. However, school librarians know that any child might seek out the library at any time, depending on their situational needs and the day. Thus, the final subset is the nucleus of even-keeled, neurotypical children who still express the need for a school library's sheltering space.
