Description
Update your collection philosophy to help diversify and broaden your collection. Start a school-wide journey around the world through a competitive reading initiative that challenges patrons of all ages to read one book by an author from each continent. The Read the World program encourages community participation, a diversified collection, and global citizenship! This workshop will walk you through how we researched books and authors from around the world, curated a diverse collection for middle and upper school aged students, and created an expansive LibGuide of books listed by country. In addition, we will discuss how we used formal and guerilla marketing (from posters to announcements to music videos) to promote the project and create buy in from students and teachers.
