What Advice Do You Have As We Pack Up Our Library For The New Library? We Would Love To Hear, Friends.

 

We are packing up our library to move into our new library in August. 

What tips and tricks do you have for this process?  Where do we start? How do we label the boxes?  How do we organize the boxes in storage? 

We'd love to hear from you.  Please add anything you want to share onto our Padlet here. 

Thank you, friends. 

You've Been Book'd With Books For Children's Book Week, Friends!

 

We are celebrating Children's Book Week this week, May 4-10, 2026. 

On the Children's Book Week site, they share, 

Children’s Book Week, established in 1919, is a celebration of books and the connection they bring. This beloved program continues to grow and adapt each year with new resources and ideas for joining in. As part of the longest-running national celebration of books for young people and the joy of reading, schools, libraries, and bookstores will celebrate Children’s Book Week on May 4-10 and November 9-15, from coast to coast across all 50 states.

This month I have been working on a big order of new books using the Spring 2026 Sneak Peek Catalog from Follett Content.  I have found so many amazing new books that I have been adding to my Titlewave list. 

I am excited to share 36 of the picture books with you as we celebrate Children's Book Week. 

You will find the You've Been Book'd With Books for Children's Book Week choice board here.  You can click on the book covers to find each book in Titlewave, and I included a link to the full list there too. 

Have fun celebrating children's books this year, and all year long, friends.
