- Trauma-Informed School Libraries: A Space for All Pelayo, Elizabeth Trauma School Libraries Safety Library Role Librarians Student Needs Emotional Disturbances Brain Hemisphere Functions Helping Relationship Faculty Development Program Implementation Social Development Emotional Development Elementary Secondary Education Some people see the school library as merely a place for books and materials, but for many students, it is a refuge and a place where they can relax and feel safe. School libraries are more than receptacles of books, technology, and audiovisual needs; they are sanctuaries for many students dealing with issues outside of school. Whether it is addressing students' academic needs or their social-emotional problems, school librarians and staff provide an engaging and comfortable place for young people. That's why it's important school librarians be trauma sensitive and trauma informed; school librarians need to understand how trauma affects the brain so that they can help students suffering from these issues. To be defined as a trauma-informed and -sensitive environment a school or library must commit to supporting every student. This article examines how to assess and implement a Trauma-Informed School Library.
