Do you have a list of activities you do before you even walk in the door of the school for the new year? I’d love it if you would email me those Must-Do’s. Here are a couple of mine:
- Organize a Special Calendar of Events for the entire year
- Register for YALSA’s Teen Read Week*
- Register for the new & improved Wrestlemania
- Plan for Internation School Library Day
- Plan for inspiring everyone to enter the Why I Need My Library Video contest
- Plan for El Dia de los Ninos/El Dia de los Libros
- Plan for the book fair
- Organize a framework for the Library Club meetings
- Prepare a space for student blog, wiki, and podcast work to be shared
- Update the library page on the school website so it looks inviting & exciting
- Spiff up the entrance to the library for a “Wow” experience as people walk in
- Prepare collaborative documents/ electronic documents/ and incentives for teachers
- Stock up on coffee and chocolate
