- Providing Windows for Non-Minority Readers Gardner, Roberta Childrens Literature Library Services Library Instruction Multicultural Education Teaching Methods Educational Practices Teaching Experience Interpersonal Competence Library Materials Elementary Secondary Education Collecting and presenting children's literature takes on new meaning when the audience is comprised of students who are affluent and represent the dominant culture. As a school librarian, the author of this article believes that children's literature provides a means by which she can introduce the diversity of society into the classroom. Highlighting the accomplishments, contributions, and experiences of minorities within the context of the library curriculum is a continuous process. In addition to sharing books for the sake of enjoyment, the author works to create a reading program that promotes tolerance, social justice, equality, and inclusion.
