Summer Reading: Display Ideas
|
I'm starting to think more and more about summer and trying to get everything ready to go to make it as smooth as possible. Summer's always super busy, but super fun. I love interacting with all the readers that come into the library and helping them pick out a book to read. And I love making displays to entice readers into picking up a great looking book.
We set up a cool baseball one for the start of the season, so I'm looking for a new idea. Here's what I discovered while trying to think of a new idea.

Summer Reading: Passive Programs
Passive programs are great - you can leave them out all week. Change them every Monday. Count the number you put out and on Friday/Saturday count the number that's still left.Presto - there's your program. Not a lot of clean up or fuss. So here are some that are perfect for summer reading.
 |
| Word Search |
1. Weekly puzzles - a mix of word searches, mazes, and crossword puzzles. There are plenty on pinterest or you can make your own with puzzlemaker
 |
| Book Shelf |
 |
| Horse Jumping |
2. Coloring sheets: So many for the younger kids, but it's super relaxing and all the craze right now. Check Pinterest for coloring sheets for adults. They don't have to be theme related, but they could be.
 |
| Hunt for Books |
3. Library scavenger hunts: This can be as intense or as easy as you want to make it
4. Matching games: Test their sports knowledge. Match the mascot with the sports team
 |
| Golf Tees |
5. Guessing Games: Win a candy bar (or something equally small)
