I would like to visit the Outstanding Science Trade Books website and begin compiling a list of science books based on categories such as animals, plants, machines, etc.
2. I would like to visit the Notable Trade Books in the Social Studies and do the same.

Librarians need to know  authors that are reliable and accurate.
Librarians can share by:

• recommending nonfiction books and authors that are well-known for their work to teachers for lessons in the classroom
• recommending nonfiction books to students to help with research and learning new topics
• librarians also need to know websites where well-written books are featured such as The Horn Book.
