Sparking School-Wide Connections: Program Ideas for Your Library, created by Lauren Strohecker for presentation at the annual conference of the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association, 2015.
14. STAFF KIDLIT BOOK CLUB
“I also enjoy the Kid's Lit book club that has
begun to inspire dialogue between staff and
students. This gives the children an
additional reason to connect with some of
the adults in the building which might just
be what encourages them to come to school
each day. These books have broadened my
internal database to share with parents
who ask for recommended reading.”
17. SPARKING CONNECTIONS: TEACHERS
“Knowledgeable,
flexible, and caring”
“It’s a pleasure to walk
into a school library and
feel so welcomed.”

welcoming”

ready to offer
great
suggestions on
books, author
studies,
projects…”
“The way
you
incorporate
our
curriculum”

taught how to
use a variety of
resources”
“Enthusiasm
about
reading”
