One of my chief observations is that most K-12 school library/media collections have little, if any,
texts (for students or teachers) about the media, let alone media literacy. That reason alone
is why I authored two books. So here you will find links to existing web pages with specific book
recommendations. Should you have questions, email me.

 General media literacy book recommendations:

 Books for K-12 students  (acquisitions for your student collection)

 
Texts/Multimedia With Activities and Lesson Plans (resources for teachers)

 Books for educators (acquisitions for your professional collection)
