The New York Public Library (NYPL) is one of the nation's great centers of learning, and this blog channel For Teachers upholds and expands that standard. Here educators will find pages and pages of education-related blog post containing links to teacher resources, student projects, primary sources, and professional development opportunities. For instance, Andrea Lipinski's post, #WeNeedDiverseBooks: A Few of Our Favorites, provides an argument for books that showcase the experiences of characters of different races, languages, sexual orientations, abilities, and other areas of diversity. She then lists over a dozen favorites, including the story of a teenage girl caught in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake of 2010. Indeed, this resource from the NYPL can broaden the understanding of library opportunities and resources available to educators across many fields.
