Abstract	Rurality is rarely considered or oftentimes completely neglected in conversations about culturally relevant pedagogy. Yet, without a relevant curriculum, students both in and out of rural communities are left with dominant and deficiently positioned narratives about rural people. School librarians must provide counter and critical narratives for student readers to consider their own sense of place. School libraries are an ideal setting to create a space for PLACE (Poetry, Literature, Adolescent or young adult) so that students can learn to question those enduring images and author their own, authentic place narratives. Educators want students to become critically engaged with their community. Students can author their own place stories that can then be featured in community texts. This article discusses making a place for rurality in school libraries. (ERIC).
