For Library Friends

Hi All,

Hope things are going well for all of you!  I have my countdown to summer calendar going in earnest, otherwise all is good.

For my librarian friends, I've been meaning to share this...We started something new around Christmas time this year that has been surprisingly successful.

That is a fabulous idea! Wonder if I should print something out for my front door at home?? ;D

That may be going a bit far, though I'm sure it would lead to interesting conversations.

That's a great idea! We did this on our nametags last summer, but it was awfully small. I like your way better! I will suggest it at work!

Yes, and a poster for your select teen volunteers would be cool too!

The English department does this at my school. Most of them put it on their doors. Usually, they leave the books up all year so kids can talk about them.

One teacher had the idea of putting starred reviews under each book he read, with a one sentence summary of his thoughts.

It seemed to work well. :)
