[LM_NET] ELEM: Kids READING in the library

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Hi Colleagues,

My alter-ego, Mrs. Skorupski, is writing a column for LibrarySparks 
about kids reading in the library.  So often, we are focused on 
teaching the multiple literacy skills outlined in Standards for the 
Twenty-First Century Learner (collaboratively or in isolation) or we 
are helping kids to locate the perfect book and getting those books 
checked out to them. Sometimes, though, isn't it great to have kids 
READING in the library?

Here's my question?  Do you have any special times or days or 
celebrations or tricks that get kids sitting or lounging in the 
library to actually read for a nice chunk of time?  If so, I'd love 
to hear from you.  And if you do respond, let me know if I can quote 
you in my article!

Best,
Toni (cleaning her office while we in Maine await Hurricane Kyle, who 
is, fortunately, only a Category 1)
