Resources for September 11

New Trier Librarians have assembled the "best of the web" for Teaching/Learning about 9/11. Many wonderful resources are available because it is the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

Librarian Linda Straube shared resources posted by Sue Polanka's blog: "No Shelf Required"
