- an explanation of what it looks like to successfully integrate the Include Shared Foundation in terms of collection, space, and instruction;
- useable guidance that school librarians can confidently incorporate in their settings, including easy-to-implement ideas, inspiring stories, events, and transformation; and
- reflections, questions, and action steps to help readers move their practice forward.
