Book Labels For Classroom Library
How can I display Gay and Lesbian books in my classroom?
I teach middle school and my school district gave us a $750 grant to buy books for our classroom library. Part of the money has to be spent on books with Gay and Lesbian themes. I have a classroom library. It's a bookshelf with 5 shelves. On each shelf I have 4 plastic bins with labels such as "horror", "drama", "action", "romance", "non fiction", "challenge" and I have a bin called "misc".
Should I intermix the Gay and Lesbian books with the other books or should I make a new bin for "gay and lesbian"? I don't want kids to be embarrassed to take out any of the books.
Thanks,
Put the books into whatever category they fit into, like horror, romance, sci-fi, whatever. But on the corner of the title page or even on the inside of the cover, how about putting something like a rainbow sticker? That way, when the kids ask you what that means, you can tell them and let them decide whether or not they want to check out those books without everyone else giving them a lot of static about it.
