Friends, the Recording & Slides for “Bloom Where You’re Planted” Follett Content Webinar Are Here!

 

This week, my dear friend and public library director, Jonatha Basye, joined me for the new Follett Content webinar, Bloom Where You're Planted! Re-energizing Your Library Program for the Home Stretch. 

Jonatha is the public library director in Van Meter, the town where I am the district teacher librarian. We have so much fun collaborating and working together throughout the year.  We loved sharing our ideas, work, and exciting news from our libraries, school, and community during the webinar. 

You will find the webinar recording here and slides here. The slides are linked with our resources too. 

I hope you enjoy our webinar and get lots of ideas and inspiration for the end of your year too, friends.

50 Do You Like/Would You Rather Templates To Print and Use In Your Library Too!

 

This year, my sister, Heather, and I created new Do You Like/Would You Rather templates to use as a passive programming activity with our students in the library. 

So far, we have created over 50 and you will find them here in Canva to print and use in your library too. 

I ordered these clear locked boxes on Amazon here. 

We are going to have the kids vote using two colors, so I ordered blue and red bingo chips.  I will just keep them in a bowl and they can pick one out and add to the box.  At the end of the week, we will count them and post the winner.  

You could also print the cards on a bigger piece of paper and just have two bowls out for them to place the chips too.  

We will add a bunch more over the summer, so we have new ones next year.  I am putting two in our library so kids can vote in two different spots each week. 

Have fun, friends.
