We all know the importance of libraries and the benefits children receive from having access to high quality reading material and information. But what about the students for whom books and other forms of written language is a struggle? The library is even more beneficial for them!

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the impact of dyslexia on children's academic, social, and emotional well-being.
• Strategize improvements to library space, collection, or programming to fully support students with language-based learning differences.
• Identify opportunities to advocate for and support the learning of children with dyslexia and their caregivers.

Anonymous feedback from the 2024 ALSC National Institute session of this presentation:

• "Simple, clear, concrete shifts in practice public library professionals can go home and implement right now no matter their size or budget. Incredibly well done and much needed!”
