Resource Guide: SDSL School Libraries

-
I've created a Resource Guide that I'm hoping you find handy on your quest in the school library.

Please feel free to share with staff. They might find the Pearltree's Curated Collections most useful. Topics include digital books, media literacy, social and emotional learning, Native American resources, and teaching SD History.

It will be linked on the SD State Library website under School Libraries AND on the Collect+Connect blog.
