Abstract	Librarians love stories, and libraries are among the few forums that can offer exposure to collections of stories in various formats as well as encourage independent exploration and group discussion. Librarians read, encourage talking, writing about, and searching for stories, but this is text-based. What of the students new to the English language, so text and language are inaccessible to them? In fact, the library experience for an English Language Learner (ELL) can be different from their classroom experience if school librarians can reduce the pressure to perform. This article discusses how wordless picture books can be an opportunity to encourage students new to the English language to approach books and to experiment with English. (ERIC).
