contents Weaving Webs: School, Community, and Home Thweatt, Mary School Libraries Reading Programs Family Programs Parent Participation Preschool Children Books Emergent Literacy Bilingualism Librarian Teacher Cooperation Program Effectiveness School librarians are collaborators, making connections with community, school, technology, jobseekers, and individuals with language barriers. They have served as a resource of information to the community and students. As an elementary school librarian, the author has become more creative by seriously listening to school community members. What she heard from the parents is that, although they wanted to help their children with school work, they feared "doing it wrong"--their fear being driven by lack of education themselves and a language barrier. After hearing this need, she started to build a strong connection with the parents by gaining their confidence so that she could "teach" them. Thus, the Pre-Kindergarten (PK) Parent Reading Academy was born! One goal of the PK Parent Reading Academy was to increase the participation of parental involvement in student learning at home. Another goal of the program was to get more books into the hands of children so they could practice reading at home. This program is one way the author was able to make a meaningful contribution to her school and community.
