We have our ‘little free libraries’ inside our school yard. We get donations from parents and they work well. Kids love them.

There is one in the senior play area and one in the junior area. I suggest having a spot in your office to home donations while they wait to go in there. Our monitors fill the libraries.

Put it out to the community that you are happy to take donations and keep your kids reading!

Just another advocacy thing I have started doing with my library Instagram page is a ‘Sunday Staff Shelfie’

I ask staff to take a Shelfie (selfie of them with their current read) and if they want a little review or blurb about the book.

I’m doing this to show the students that staff read books for both work and pleasure. It can open up discussions about the books teachers are reading and it promotes the importance and enjoyment that comes from reading.

I don’t mind if the they are kids books or ‘adult’ reads, just promoting reading.

A letter from the books!

Promote reading and encourage student engagement

Softlink has designed a number promotional resources for you to print and use in your library.

Not necessarily school-based but still book based!

If you’ve got some books that you want to share, and your Street Library is out there, doing business with the folks in your neighbourhood, then YOU are a great librarian! You can bust out the cardie, put on your bifocals, start those seventeen books on your must-read list – or you can happily set up the box, comb out that magnificent moustache, hop on your fixie, and ride off into the sunset, local brew in hand. It’s up to you.

Building Choice Into Your Students’ Reading

Create a literacy-rich environment by putting a lot of books in front of your students
