Foreign language display
American holiday or culture display
Multicultural display

Foreign language display should be like a world wall, constantly changing.

American holiday/culture display allows you to share why we celebrate the holiday and why it's important.

Multicultural display allows library to validate ELLs traditions. This will also give ELLs an opportunity to share their celebrations with others.

Library Tool Belt

Use visuals with your correspondence home

Recognizing library books: Prepare a short translated note explaining when library books must be returned. Include a bar code, a spine sticker, and library stamp on the letter to help parents identify library materials, which must be returned in a timely manner, as opposed to RIF books and Title I materials.

Overdue notices: If books are overdue, send home a print-out from your catalogue that contains the book cover, or send an e-mail with the book cover graphic. Visuals can get better results than a translated note simply listing the name of the overdue book.
