In this assignment I was required to read a variety of children’s literature and analyze the text in order to write a specific description of each.  The assignment included 2-3 packed sentences describing the text (genre, characters, plot/main idea, setting, theme, graphics and book form), a recommending source, and a modified APA citation for each book.  

The annotated bibliography assignment served as a valuable tool for me as a current school librarian by assisting with resource organization, resource evaluation, useful recommendations that are diversified, instructional needs, time saving, and collaboration.  This learning experience provided me with information to enhance my ability as a librarian to support students and educators in their information needs, reading engagement, and contribute to the overall effectiveness of the school library.
