Healing is a journey. From the darkest of nights to the brightest of days, the struggles to the successes, and the pain to the pure bliss. These poems tell the stories of heartbreak and love, abuse and addiction, parenthood, self-worth, and finally, the process of healing. The journey of healing, including the setbacks and relapses, is written in the form of poems. As a survivor of domestic violence herself, the author uses her personal experiences to share her story of loss, hurt, resilience, rebuilding, and success. The poems in The Road Home to Me illustrate a map to healing, showing that no matter how hard things get, someday you will heal. "Life didn't just get better, I chose to heal and make it better"
There seems to be little resistance to the idea that children and teens learn in public library spaces. However, many public librarians do not see themselves as teachers. This implies that much of the learning that happens in public libraries is incidentalÑtangential to the ÒrealÓ purpose and design of these spaces and programs. In this book, we make the case that public librarians should embrace an explicit instructional role as a core part of their professional practice. Inside, youÕll find both a comprehensive review of what is known so far about instruction for youth in public libraries and a primer on core educational concepts and frameworks for current and future public librarians. Each chapter includes real-world examples of libraries and librarians who are already practicing powerful teaching.
