A few weeks ago, while singing to my 6-month old son, I found myself trying to remember the ultimate resolution to “Little Bunny Foo Foo.” <em>Little Bunny Foo Foo</em>, the good fairy says, <em>I gave you <strong>three </strong>chances and now… now…</em> I hesitated, “Well, buddy. I guess she turns him into a goon. That’s what she kept saying she was going to do, right?” I simply could not remember how to conclude this silly song.</font>

Perhaps half an hour or less a couple of days a week. But screens are a part of my life and digital literacy will probably be as important to my child’s future as the more conventional kind.</font>

The AAP guidelines, while well-meaning, certainly do not mesh with how I or <a style="color:rgb(45,116,160)" href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emarketwatch%2Ecom%2Fvideo%2Fbabies%2Dyounger%2Dthan%2Dtwo%2Dare%2Dusing%2Dsmartphones%2F95B66936%2D7F1D%2D4C2E%2D93A1%2DE1A2790BA1FF%2Ehtml" target="_blank">indeed many families in America</a> use digital media. Studies show that fully 97% of children have used a digital device by the age of four. Most have started using them before the age of 1 and <a style="color:rgb(45,116,160)" href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecommonsensemedia%2Eorg%2Fresearch%2Fzero%2Dto%2Deight%2Dchildrens%2Dmedia%2Duse%2Din%2Damerica%2D2013%2Fkey%2Dfinding%2D1%253A%2Dyoung%2Dkids%2527%2Dmobile%2Daccess%2Ddramatically%2Dhigher" target="_blank">these numbers are on the rise</a>. Furthermore, as more and more schools become invested in being so-called <a style="color:rgb(45,116,160)" href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fen%2Ewikipedia%2Eorg%2Fwiki%2FOne%5Fto%5Fone%5Fcomputing%5F%28education%29" target="_blank">one-to-one</a> schools, issuing laptops or iPads to all their students, digital devices become increasingly commonplace in every child’s landscape. Meanwhile, the AAP, acknowledging the shifting nature of “screen time” in this world, has even tempered their policy a bit, releasing the brief, <a style="color:rgb(45,116,160)" href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eaappublications%2Eorg%2Fcontent%2F36%2F10%2F54" target="_blank"> Beyond ‘turn it off: How to advise families on media use</a>.</font></span>
</p>
<p> <span><font color="#333333" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="2">
So if the devices are out there, if digital literacy is really a necessary skill in the modern world, and if parents need to know how to mediate their children’s use, then is this where libraries step in? We have long considered ourselves the place to support traditional literacy and most seem to agree that we have a place in supporting digital literacy, as well. In fact, in 2015 the Association for Library Service to Children adopted a white paper on <a style="color:rgb(45,116,160)" href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eala%2Eorg%2Falsc%2Fmediamentorship" target="_blank">Media Mentorship in Libraries Serving Youth</a> which calls for libraries to provide “Media Mentors” to help parents navigate the digital world. Simply bolting an iPad to a kiosk, they affirm, is not enough. We must be ready -- as we do with our storytimes, our booklists, our summer reading programs, and a myriad of other methods – to guide parents and children in how to use digital media, and what the most appropriate digital media is.</font>
</span>
</p>
<p> <span><font color="#333333" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="2">
To this end, the state library of Ohio is conducting six workshops throughout the state on digital media for library staff serving youth, intending to “train the trainers” -- that is, to provide you with training that you can then use to train other library staff. These digital media training days will focus on research and pedagogy, such as <a style="color:rgb(45,116,160)" href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ezhousestories%2Ecom%2Fwhat%2Dcan%2Dyou%2Dlearn%2Din%2Dlisa%2Dguernseys%2D13%2Dminute%2Dtedx%2Dtalk%2Don%2Dthe%2Dimpacts%2Dof%2Dscreen%2Dtime%2Don%2Dchildren%2F" target="_blank">the 3 Cs</a> proposed by the New America Foundation’s Early Education Initiative director Lisa Guernsey, the updated <a style="color:rgb(45,116,160)" href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eeverychildreadytoread%2Eorg%2F" target="_blank">“Every Child Ready to Read”</a> guidelines and more, as well as provide practical tips for app evaluation and digital media in storytime. The state library hopes that regional systems will consider sending two librarians each who may return to their libraries as Media Mentors, ready to train other library staff in the effective use of digital media use in youth services.</font></span>

Keep in mind that these are train-the-trainer sessions. Whomever you send to a training session will be expected to return and train the staff of your library system.
