School Library Media (PreK-12)

What to Know & Why Teach It

The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings, photographs, newspapers, maps and manuscripts in its collections.

This collection of news and media lessons, videos, and printables has been carefully vetted by Common Sense editors (and fellow teachers) to help you find that "just right" resource for your classroom.
