As a librarian, it would be impossible to read every single book purchased for students. Having students ranging in age from 5 to 15, I have to have a way to know which books might not be appropriate for younger readers. One strategy I use to figure it all out is Common Sense Media. (http://commonsensemedia.org) On this site you can check the content of many books and movies. Users can post reviews and give ratings in many areas from language and violence to consumerism. If you have a title you are not sure about, try to search it on CSM!
For teachers, the site now has lesson plans and other resources on digital citizenship. Click on the image below to check it out!
