We created a special hashtag and share the photos on social media. The photos, with the location, are displayed in the library and the locations are scratched off on a special map. At the end of the year, we will add up all the miles we traveled and read as a school. It promotes reading while having fun.

The "text sets" feature is so useful and can be customized easily. Students can adjust the reading level of any given text (5 levels) with one click- a great differentiation tool. Most importantly, I love that the articles are chosen with a view toward student interest and curricular ties.

We had over a dozen parents & community members help us with a STEM fair held with our science dept.

We market via hall posters, social media, weekly bulletins to parents and staff and daily announcements to students. In October, we embraced the obvious...horror genre, incorporating it into our annual Teens DO Read celebration. This theme brought to fruition through themed book displays, students sharing original ghost stories and their most recent reads, selecting donated and weeded books for their home libraries ("Take a Book as a Treat") and enjoying a book talk with an author. Our November theme is "War and Peace". A dual focus on the world wars and building peacemaking skills. ]]> 2018-11-04 15:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/WhatFutureReadyLibrariansDo/wish/300195411 A group of students come in once a week to create displays using these adorable marquee signs that they change each time.
