"Reading promotion gives you the chance to raise the profile of books and reading in your school, while at the same time sharing your passion for high-interest titles, favourite authors, and the joy of living a bookish life." --National Library of New Zealand
It's about lighting the reading fire, and making the library the TRUE hub of any school building. I especially feel that at the MS/HS level we can still help our students find a lifelong love of reading. In order to do this we have to promote both reading and our library. We need to make the library a place students want to be, and that boils down to making personal connections with our students and creating an environment that is comfy and safe. The library has to be a place that exudes "the JOY of living a bookish life."
You will find tabs for Elementary, MS/HS, and Links/Resources. Of course, most ideas can be modified for any grade level, but some ideas seem better suited to the age groups as listed. I tried to offer a balance of activities, even if my heart is at the teen level.
