Subject: HIT: Library clubs

Thank you all for your replies-- many requested a hit, so here is the gist of it: 

I had plans for my library club, but with school event scheduling and all I hardly 
got to do anything. I did a library scavenger hunt I found online just by plugging 
in the words into Google! That was good for 3 meetings.

I did post a hit last year which you may be able to find, but I saved a lot of the 
info that was contributed last time I was thinking about this. I am in a 7-12 
private school that still is not automated... 

Things to do: blog of book reviews, newsletter, they create thematic bulletin 
boards, suggest new books, movie days with book tie-ins, making a library crew to 
shelve and process books, poetry (this is the time to do it!), creative writing, 
field trips to public libraries and do
 read-alouds, I did a pentomino challenge with Chasing Vermeer (middle school) 

Movies and More: The Librarian (some liked it); How about a fun look at librarians 
in the media?  You
could show "The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag"  "The
Librarian and the Spear", "Ghostbusters", "Music Man",
etc.; Mayeb you can make up a Jeopardy game? 
I have one I use and the
kids really enjoy it.  Some of the categories are "Books into Movies"
(books that have been made into movies), "Name that Book", "Author
Please", "Newbery Winners", etc.  We have buzzers, but you can use
anything that makes a sound (different sounds for the different teams); How about 
"How to Deal" (it's a combination of two Sarah Dessen books,
and it has an interview with a YA librarian about YA books).

I hope you can use some of these ideas!
