Book Activities

CSLA Annual 2019 Workshop:  

Make Your Library the Room Where It Happens!

Use book Centered Activities to build a Culture of Literacy at your school:

Libraries are more than just books and computers; today’s library spaces have been rebranded as “learning commons” where students can participate in many different educational experiences both within and beyond the school day.  Engage students through high-interest activities such as: making, Kahoot, speed rating, alternative book reports, booktalks, read the movie, active and passive displays, bucket list, goal setting, journaling club, and book club.
