Hello Francis!
I am now working as a public library librarian and have planned the
following for CBW (which could be done in the school setting!):
I have invited guest readers to visit the library to read during special
storytimes (a police officer; a Spanish speaking patron who will read in
Spanish and English and then teach a simple nursery rhyme/song in Spanish to
the people who attend; I've invited a school librarian, but you could invite
your local library's children's librarian!).
We are asking all of our patrons, regardless of age, what their favorite
childhood book is/was. I plan to display those that are named several
times, if they are in print, as well as make an alphabetical display of the
books mentioned (I hope to get at least one book/author for every letter of
the alphabet!). It is amazing how people will open up and talk about what
they have read as a child!
We are also raffling off several book packages easy, juv. fic. for girl and
juv. fic. for boy with some book character stuffed figures thrown in (my
Friend's group--and maybe your PTO--is underwriting the cost of the items,
and I hope to make enough money to cover the costs of the raffle---I have a
small library that does not have a lot of money!)
I did a Google.com search for CBW and one of the websites that came up has
suggestions to celebrate CBW as well as a color page that may be printed out
and given to kids to color (sorry, I am at home, so I do not know the URL!).
I am hosting a storytime where I will read MY favorite children's books!
Hope this helps stir up your creative juices!
