I would welcome info on tried and tested events and activities to
promote reading and enhance the library's image in the middle school.
I have voluntarily transferred from one middle school (grades 6-8) to
another, and would like to be more proactive and innovative in my new
position. In my last school, I responded to teachers' needs, but didn't
initiate any events. Someone recently referred to an annual "reading
extravaganza" but I emptied my trash before I thought of asking for
details.  Also, when would students participate in such events - in
class groups, before or after school, etc.  In my experience, teachers
are loth to bring students except when they have a classroom-related
need - there is so much pressure to get through the curriculum.

I will be happy to post a HIT collection of replies.
