Program win for us! Open the library to students and parents one afternoon in the last week of term for 'unlimited borrowing'. Parents are invited by letter two week prior and library captains announce in assembly. This give agency to students who are usually limited to 5 books...does make returning and shelving lots of books quite an effort, but totally worth it!

Towards the end of each term we offer our staff and students 'wild card book bundles' to borrow for the holidays. These are curated by both the library staff and the student library committee. These are hugely popular and a great opportunity to get people reading books they wouldn't maybe choose themselves!

Genre selection tool - AI & Involve Me platform

I've been inspired by Madison's Library.

As we know, reading for pleasure can open doors to academic success, but it's a constant challenge getting students engaged with the library.  I've built this genre selection tool using the 'Involve Me' platform. The aim is a fun quiz which works on some logic, the end result is a fairytale character linked to a genre type.  The link clicks through to a selection of books in our library catalogue based on that genre.  It's my hope that it increases interest in borrowing!  Give it a go and let me know what you think: https://ivlv.me/AaJ6p

I've used Adobe Express Text to Image (AI) feature to generate the character images and thought this could provide an opportunity to encourage critical thinking around the biases within AI generated images, the ethical issues with AI, impact on society, etc.  I've also included a reference list for the prompts I used to build the quiz.  This tool could be embedded into our Library Guide.

cheers, Kylie.
