Overview
Digital citizenship, the ethical and responsible use of technology, is more important than ever for 21st-century learners and families-all of whom are spending increasingly long hours behind screens. Because libraries and schools are often the mediators between technology and individuals, educators must know what digital citizenship is and how they can understand, program, and promote it.
In Advocating Digital Citizenship, readers will learn from a public librarian and two current school librarians a wealth of real-life, easy-to-follow strategies to make libraries healthy, equitable, and safe digital spaces for everyone. Covering complex but important topics like digital law, digital etiquette, and media literacy, the authors help librarians and teachers establish a curriculum, write programming, and collaborate with colleagues to achieve buy-in at all levels.
Educators will benefit from a chapter dedicated to lesson plans, and a practical appendix includes digital citizenship program outlines, policy and procedure documents, and conversation prompts around technology to share with families. In our current climate, which requires so many new digital experiences for people of all ages, digital citizenship instruction is timely and essential.

What People are Saying About This
"Advocating Digital Citizenship: Resources for the Library and Classroom succeeds in its goal to help prepare librarians for being part of the digital citizenship movement and making impactful change for their patrons and students. It clearly explains what digital citizenship is all about (hint: it’s not just online safety!) and offers useful and practical ideas for programming, advocacy, and the role librarians play in digital inclusion. In this age of ever-growing/changing technology, social media, and misinformation/fake news, this skillset is even more urgent for our students to master than ever. I highly recommend this important book."
“This is an amazing resource that can be used by both public and school libraries. It has tons of ideas and experiences to help patrons, no matter their age, setting, or culture, be better and more informed digital citizens! I definitely plan on using it and sharing it with every librarian I know!”
"Good schools have classrooms and libraries; great schools have classroom teachers and librarians who work together to equip our students with essential digital citizenship skills. Carrie, Amy, and Lindi have created a powerful resource that provides clear vision and practical tools to help us move away from the looming media and information illiteracy darkness that is eroding our free society and move us toward the light of students who are informed and equipped digital citizens!"
"Advocating Digital Citizenship is the book we’ve been waiting for! Timely, accurate, filled with ready-to-use lessons and ideas from those who’ve been in the trenches; it’s a great tool to put in the hands of your librarians and teachers who need to do just one more thing for the sake of their students. Every school needs a copy!"
"In a constantly changing digital age, Advocating Digital Citizenship: Resources for the Library and Classroom is a go-to resource that teaches public and school librarians why promoting digital citizenship is essential. This resource also offers a variety of promotional tools to prepare librarians to promote healthy digital footprints for library patrons. A variety of lesson plans across the curriculum and for all grade levels is a tool that all educators, administrators, and librarians can use to kickstart their digital citizenship program."
"Advocating Digital Citizenship: Resources for the Library and Classroom is your 'one-stop shop' for anything you need to help you with planning, delivering, and assessing students on digital citizenship! As an elementary school librarian, I appreciate the depth the authors went to in showing how to develop a full Madeline Hunter lesson cycle. But, not to worry—there are also easy-to-follow lesson examples and a scope and sequence for the year to follow for every school level. This book is an invaluable resource to any school librarian. Five stars!"
