Minitex staff and librarians who work with eLibraryMN, Ebooks Minnesota, Minnesota Digital Library, and Resource Sharing have come together to create Resource Packs for Minnesota schools. These packs are theme-based and support Minnesota K12 Academic standards. The goal of the packs is to create a resource that teachers and librarians can take and use right away; please submit topic ideas that would use in the classroom. We hope to tailor the packs to Minnesota schools and school libraries' curriculum needs.
Each pack will be in a libguide format that librarians and teachers can share with colleagues. Resources will be curated around the month’s theme, and will be broken into tabs for younger and older students. Packs can be accessed by unlimited users with no login, and all links will be formatted to ensure seamless access within Minnesota borders.
Here is the list of Resource Packs we have created so far. Please share your ideas for packs that you can use during the 2024-2025 School Year.
- Women's History
- The Civil Rights Movement
- Immigration and Immigrant Stories
- Sports and Sports History
- Indigenous Representations
These are only some of the resources available in ELM, Ebooks Minnesota, and Minnesota Digital Library. Let us know if you need assistance finding what you need, linking to resources, or even borrowing from other libraries to fill curriculum and research needs for your classroom.
