21st Century Skills Library

Achievement. Preparedness. Life skills.

Life in the 21st century: there is precious little time today to adequately prepare kids for the demands they will face tomorrow. Every moment-and every resource-in your library needs to count.

Cherry Lake Publishing is pleased to offer a new series of books, 21st Century Skills Library, that help prepare kids for their future in this new century. Aligned to standards and the Partnership for 21st skills framework, these books are designed to help your library remain relevant in this era of accountability.

Twenty-first century learning is about the process of integrating and using knowledge, not just the acquisition of facts and procedures. Using innovative callouts, the 21st Century Skills Library challenges students to think beyond facts and focus on learning.

We understand that you want the best possible future for each and every child in your school. We invite you to investigate the unique strengths and opportunities that are offered in this exciting new resource. We think you will see the value right away.

And we think you will agree with our formula for success:

Your Passion. Our Tools.
Their Future.

Testimonials

"Z is for Zeitgeist?' I always check the z entry of an alphabet book first, and was I surprised when I looked at the last letter in D is for Democracy! The use of the term 'zeitgeist' puts a brilliant cap on this look at the fundamental rights and responsibilities of living in a democracy. Yes, it's an ABC book, but one with a solid commitment to democratic ideals and the belief that, as stated in 'Q is for Questions' that 'Taking part in a democracy is every citizen's task.'"
