Transgender children may begin to express a strong sense of gender identity as early as 2-3 years of age. Children are also identifying as gay much sooner than earlier generations-often between the ages of 7 and 12. Additionally, more children than ever before are living with LGBTQIA+ caregivers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn seeking to make our programs and services inclusive and equitable for these growing populations, librarians may court controversy and face community backlash from patrons who feel queer-inclusive content is inappropriate for young children. This book codifies a set of best practices for librarians as they rise to this challenge, defining queer-inclusive programs, identifying potential barriers to implementation, and offering strategies and resources to overcome them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eResources for Additional Support\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12389116\"\u003eLucy Green\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15163932\"\u003eJenna Spiering\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14743608\"\u003eVanessa Kitzie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ABC-Clio, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.06w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440876776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440876770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAN\"\u003eLanguage Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAN025050\"\u003eLibrary \u0026amp; Information Science | School Media\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC064000\"\u003eLGBTQ+ Studies | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucy Santos Green\u003c\/b\u003e, EdD, is professor of information science at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJenna Spiering\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is assistant professor of information science at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVanessa Lynn Kitzie\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is assistant professor of information science at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Erlanger\u003c\/b\u003e, MSLIS, is a youth services librarian for Sacramento Public Library in Sacramento, CA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABC-Clio, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451675439341,"sku":"9781440876776","price":82.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_a54c2a5d-72ae-41fb-b544-ce800e0030b9.jpg?v=1700330983","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/lgbtqia-inclusive-childrens-librarianship-policies-programs-and-practices-9781440876776","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
