Navigating the GLSEN BookLink

The BookLink is divided into four categories:

Grades K-6
Grades 7-12
Educator Resources - curricula, books, and videos for classroom use, plus other resources for school faculty and administrators
Other Ally Resources - materials for families, community activists, and others committed to making schools safe

Each category has its own BookLink section, which contains a list of resources. Click on the title for a description of the resource, and click on the �Buy This Item� link below the description to visit Amazon.com and make a purchase. Several resources produced by GLSEN are also available for purchase at Amazon.com.

All BookLink items are reviewed by GLSEN staff for quality and appropriateness of content. However, some titles for adolescent readers contain mature themes. We recommend that adults selecting books for youth review content for suitability. The editorial and customer reviews listed at Amazon.com often provide information on mature content.
