[Michlib-l] Input on 9/11 and storytime

[nnowak at uproc.lib.mi.us]

Good evening,

I wanted to ask fellow storytime readers whether you have ever broached
the topic of 9/11 and/or grief for storytime and whether you would
recommend that. Personally, I'm conflicted about it because, on one hand,
I assume schools teach about it so most kids probably at least know about
it, but on the other hand, there is a large homeschool population where
I'm located and I don't want to bring up a topic with the children if
their parents don't feel comfortable talking to them about it yet. Any
guidance is very much appreciated!

Thank you,
