Here's a great idea from the coordinator of National School Library Day. Randi ______________________________________ School Library Personnel, BOOKMARK PROJECT: In her recent email to her distribution list, Margriet Ruurs (author of a number of picture books including My Librarian is a Camel' (Boyds Mills Press, ISBN 1590780930) wrote about IBBY Pakistan’s ‘A Book Marks Our World’ project with Basarat Kazim, who recently was instrumental in the creation of IBBY Pakistan . I asked Margriet if we could expand this program for ISLD and she has given us permission to do this. I will be setting up a database of schools who are interested in participating in the bookmark page. Once we have a number of participants, we will post the list of schools and then assist the schools in finding a match. The project is very simple. I will collect a list of schools who are interested in participating in this project. We will publish this database in a few months. Once matched to a school in a different part of the world, your students will make a homemade bookmark (any style, shape etc. – be creative) and then the students will write the title, author & illustrator, and one or two lines about their favourite book on the book mark. You will ship them to your matched school in time for distribution for ISLD (October 23). The purpose of this project and the IBBY Pakistan project is to help to promote international understanding and friendship through books. FRENCH SPEAKING SCHOOLS: This one comes from a recent request from a teacher-librarian in Quebec, Canada, where the predominate language is French. She would like to liaise with other schools where French is the official language. She would like to develop a list of interested schools to share with her colleagues in Quebec. The main purpose is to celebrate ISLD, but she is hoping to have a continuing partnership with the schools beyond October 2006.
