Hi -- 
I was unable to get this through to Bonnie so I apologize for putting it on the 
list.
 
I haven't run a library club, but I'm planning on starting one next year for the 
5th graders in my school.  I want them to it to be both a book club and a service 
club.  My plan is to have them meet once a week during their lunch.  This is when 
clubs meet in my school.  I will read to them while they eat.  We will be reading 
chapter books, maybe a Newbury.  Eventually, if they want to come to the club 
having read a book so we can do all discussion during that time, I might try that, 
but to start, it'll be a read aloud time.  That's for about 20 minutes.  For the 
other 20 minutes, I will be teaching them about running the library and enlisting 
their help with library maintenance.  I plan on having them each be responsible for 
a shelf or two to keep in order.  I'll also have them help me with spine and genre 
labels and other upkeep and improvements to the library.  I've never run a club and 
I'm pretty new to this age group so I don't know if my plan will work well, but 
that's my ideas for now.
Good luck.
