  • Lib-Caching...on the hunt for library treasure! - Posted Wednesday, April 13, 2011

    Check out this website that lists different libraries that participate in things like letterboxing, geocaching, and guestbooks. The idea is just as geocaching encourages visitors to explore different parks, this encourages people to explore other libraries. Perfect for the 2011 summer teen theme of "You are Here!"

    The website is still new, so there aren't that many libraries with their information up. Hopefully, there will be a great selection in time for Summer.

  • Duck Duck Dewey Game - Posted Monday, February 22, 2010

    Upstart has a cute game to teach library skills called "Duck, Duck, Dewey"

    http://www.highsmith.com/upstartbooks/Duck-Duck-Dewey174-Game-c_29235972/

    It comes with little plastic ducks dressed up to represent the ten dewey classifications and a booklet with ideas of how to use the ducks (ideas like Scavenger Hunts). Great tie-in for "Make a Splash-Read!".

     

  • Florida Young Adult & Children's Authors - Posted Tuesday, May 26, 2009

    We are trying to compile a list of Florida Young Adult and Children's authors who do not charge for their book talks / book signings. If you know of a published author who gives these presentations free of charge, we would like to know about them. Thank you!
