Dos
- Offer multiple media versions of information to students so they can read it, hear it, understand it in their native language, etc.
- You may want to consider partnering with students and parents to do this.
- Offer a wide range of places and ways for students to be comfortable because there is no reason to make kids feel trapped or uncomfortable
- Craigslist and social media are great places to secure donations. When I had my library we had a comfy couch, bean bags, pillows, animal chairs and more that were all donated.
- Let them eat and drink because people should be able to do that if they’re hungry or thirsty.
- When I was a librarian I jumped through hoops and fought unnecessary policies to allow food/drink in the library. We learned to clean up after ourselves.
