Description
Book SynopsisWhether you provide reference services and readers’ advisory, handle programming, or teach in the classroom, this book from manga expert Rudes will show you how to connect young readers to manga for entertainment, empowerment, and literacy.
Trade ReviewNotably, Rudes dedicates a substantial portion of the book not only to the value of extracurricular manga programming, but to proactively using manga as part of a contemporary school curriculum in order to support varied learning styles, cultivate SEL skills, and to provide students with positive representations of characters who reflect their own identities and experiences ... VERDICT: A businesslike and comprehensive defense of manga in today’s library and classroom that requires no prior knowledge of the format and will provide library professionals the framework to develop a manga collection, program, or course from scratch."
