In Conclusion… While I can suggest links to information and resources, none of it will be of any use unless you have an inclusive attitude. Which, of course, I know you have because, if you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this issue of The Teaching Librarian! Review your situation, pick a place to start, gather information, and get to work. It really is that simple. And if, like me, you've already been working to create an inclusive school library, then I hope these connections have provided some information and ideas that will help you expand your efforts. You'll notice I haven't provided lists of suggested resources, or even of publishers/ vendors. If you're fortunate enough to have money for resources, then learn about the students whose needs you want to target and talk to your peers, to public reference and children's librarians, and to publishers and vendors to determine which resources would best meet your students' needs. But remember, even if you don't have money, a welcoming and inclusive attitude--and some creativity--can go a long way. ❚
