The Journey: PCA Parent Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
Guest: Dr. Daphney Harris, PCA North Librarian
The Texas Legislature recently passed a law that will hold book vendors accountable for the material that is being distributed in their books - if material is inappropriate for children, these vendors will not be allowed to sell their books to Texas public schools or libraries. This new law called the Removing Explicit and Adult Designated Educational Resources (READER) Act was signed into law by Texas governor Greg Abbott following this most recent legislative session.
PCA library on the Plano campus has recently finished an audit of their books to better ensure that all books on the shelves and available for PCA students are aligned with our mission and are age appropriate material and content. If you find material in a book that you find inappropriate, please let your librarian know so they can help best protect and prepare our students.
As a parent, how do I develop a love for reading in my children:
Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in an Age of Show Business by Neil Postman
Parents, what are you reading? You model the importance of reading for your children - lead by example.
