Young People Talking to Health Care Providers

I came across an 18-minute video on  "The Institute for Child Health Policy" website. It teaches teens how to communicate effectively with health care providers. Have a look:  http://www.ichp.ufl.edu/videos/twyd

What is a Resource Centre?

E.B.White, children’s author of Charlotte’s Web, once wrote a letter to a librarian. These are his words but I have replaced the word “library” with “resource centre”. I hope you agree.

“A resource centre is many things. It’s a place to go to get in out of the rain. It’s a place to go if you want to sit and think. But particularly it is a place where books live, and where you can get in touch with other people, and other thoughts, through books. A resource centre is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided for there in a book, you may have your questions answered. Books are good company in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.”
