Become a Block Builder: Building Youth One Asset at a Time K-8—Presenter: Teresa Young

Do you want your students to have a happy, healthy, rewarding life? Are you a caring adult willing to teach your students how to reach that goal?

Round Table Discussions

Check it Out!

Checking out books is easy but how do I check out Playaways, audio books, books on MP3 format, videos, magazines, equipment, etc. Bring your questions and ideas to this round table discussion and gain valuable knowledge from your colleagues.

Do high school students really buy books from book fairs? Is it worth the work to have a high school fair? Do I have a fair through Scholastic, Barnes and Noble, or someone else. If you have ever held a high school fair or wondered if you should, come to this round table discussion and share your ideas and questions with your fellow librarians.

Book Clubbing, that is! Do you sponsor a high school book club? Do you want to start a book club at your school? We will discuss club ideas, formats for teen book clubs, and ideas for promotion at this round table.

Let’s Get Together!

Teacher/Librarian collaboration is the topic of this round table discussion. Bring your best collaboration projects to share with your colleagues.
