Hit: Public and School Library projects

[Bev Nelson <bev.nelson@SPRINGGROVE.K12.MN.US>]

Here is a list of the results e-mailed to me:

A "Getting Together" project targeted a 6th grade class and the two
librarians shared information on research topics.  The public
librarians went to the school and shared resources. They followed up
with a night at the Public Library and served refreshments.  Was very
successful
Some schools release school kids to go to the public library during
the day for booktalks and research.  Another library takes the kids
to the public library at the end of the year so that the students
hear about the summer reading program at the public library.

Other libraries visited during National Library Week so that kids
could get public library cards and become familiar with the library.
Another gives kids a questionnaire with questions that can be
answered only at the public library.  Kids liked that a lot.

We are
kicking off a P.A.R.P. program - (Parents as Reading Partners) Children will
keep a log that parents sign.....1) Parents are urged to go to the public
library with their children to read and select books. 2) the PARP theme this
year is READ TO DISCOVER. Each child will receive a manatee beanie baby and
the classes are going to research endangered species.  The public library
helps us supplement our collection for animal research.  They also suggested
storytellers to kick-off program.  But I'm thinking the public library could
also sponsor storytellers, puppeteers or whatever performing there, with
programs revolving around the same theme.  Any kind of reading incentive
program is good for coordination with public library.
