Happy New Year to All!
 
2010 is upon us there is no better time to reenergize your library.  Getting the 
new year off to a great start can be intimidating, but the Kids! @ your library 
toolkit can make that effort completely painless!  
 
Here are 10 FREE ideas from our toolkit to get you started.  More details for each 
activity can be found at the website:

1.  Brighten up the library with beautiful artwork from award-winning artist, David 
Diaz. 
2.  Get your kids laughing with a fun game of Mad Libs. 
3.  Challenge your patrons to a scavenger hunt. 
4.  Get your kids singing along with Bill Harley and his catchy tune "@ Your 
Library". 
5.  Host a coloring contest using artwork from Michael P. White. 
6.  Let those tweens be creative with a Brain Challenge. 
7.  Invite local celebrities to a Read-a-Thon 
8.  Try out reader's theater with one of 3 scripts available in the toolkit. 
9.  Help your kids back into the learning groove with word searches and mazes. 
And last, but not least, 
10.  Do the Library Rap.  (You know you want to!) 
 
 
Best wishes for the New Year!
