GEN: Library 75th Anniversary Ideas

[Diane Averett <averett4@GLORYROAD.NET>]

Dear Netters,

A co-worker is helping plan a 75th anniversary event for our local
public library.  She's in charge of activities for children.  So far,
she's planning storytelling and dress as favorite book characters for
the library festival.

She'd like ideas that she can take to the approx. 12 elementary schools
in the county to get all children involved.

Do you have any wonderful ideas that might chronicle children and
libraries over the past 75 years?  I'm planning to book talk some of the
early Caldecott and Newbery books to show my students how publishing for
children has changed.

Any other ideas?     TIA
