I Brought Together A List Of Special Eclipse Books & Resources In Titlewave and Collections

As I shared last week, I have been bringing together lots of resources focusing on the total solar eclipse in my new Solar Eclipse Collection within Destiny Discover.

You can read my blog post about how I created this Collection too.

As you can with all Collections, I made this one public so all of you can see and use the resources too. You will find the Solar Eclipse Collection here.

In the Collection, I brought in a variety of eclipse, planet and space books.  Therefore, I thought it would be helpful to also include a list of books I created in Titlewave too.

I included the Solar Eclipse Titlewave List in the Solar Eclipse Collection, that you can see above, and...

you can also find it here at the Solar Eclipse Titlewave List, Shannon Miller's Picks. 

Visit this link and log in with your Titlewave credentials.

You will find the Titlewave list I created.  It is filled with books, eBooks, two amazing Lightbox books and a few other multimedia resources.

I hope you find this helpful as you are planning your solar eclipse activities too.

It's Our Library Skills Series Book Birthday! Celebrate With Us Too!

Today's the day!  It my Library Skills Series Book Birthday!  Hooray!

I couldn't be more excited about today and the opportunity to write these four books with Cantata Learning.

And to make the series extra special, my dear friend Emily Arrow arranged and produced the music. I just love the songs Emily created for all four of the titles in the series.

In fact, Emily and Cantata Learning have created a fun music video to go along with Find a Book!  

This will be the perfect thing to share in your library as you sing and move along to Find a Book and the others too.  

You will find Manners in the Library, Be Safe Online, Fiction or Nonfiction and of course...Find a Book on the Cantata Learning website.  

And just like all of the Cantata Learning books, you will find the song, sheet music and even the instrumental version of the song online. You can check out Find a Book here. 

Thank you Cantata Learning for asking me to be part of this wonderful project! It is a dream come true. I can't wait to share the books and songs with librarians, teachers and children around the world!
