Digital Citizenship Lessons for the Library. Today’s children are rarely satisfied with using only the library’s print materials and online databases.

Digital Citizenship Lessons for the Library

Such freedom carries with it great responsibility. School librarians have always embraced the responsibility for teaching information literacy — critical skills for locating, evaluating and using information — but children also need to know the literacy of digital citizenship — how to conduct themselves safely and responsibly in the digital world. Because school librarians serve all schoolchildren, overseeing the progression of digital citizenship lessons across the grade levels seems a natural role for them. Librarians do not need to take sole responsibility for digital citizenship. Partnering With Parents Parent-targeted Resources Digital Citizenship Curricula Grades K–2 Videos Activities Books.

School librarians, as we once knew them, may no longer be relevant. And, yet, this is undoubtedly the most exciting time in history to be a librarian.
