class=076394617-19112009>The New York representative in the Collaborative Summer
Library Program (CSLP) just sent out an email sharing a resource they put
together to encourage school-public library partnerships to
promote summer reading. This manual is for school
libraries and specific to the 2009 theme, however there is a lot of
information that you can adapt and share with your local schools this
Spring. <SPAN class=076394617-19112009>The manual is available for free
at: <A

class=076394617-19112009>This is a list of activities school librarians and
teachers can do with their students at the end of the school year to get them
excited about the summer reading program. Using ideas from your CSLP
summer reading manual, make a list of "Make a Splash--READ!" and "Make Waves at
Your Library" activities for teacher, and distribute it to schools.
Teachers are especially busy at the end of the school year, providing them with
specific activity ideas may be just what they need. This is an especially
good idea for those of you working at libraries that lack the resources to do
class visits or provide other outreach services to promote summer
reading.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

schools. This is another good idea for those of you unable to provide

class=076394617-19112009>When making first contact with a school library you may
adapt this page to create a menu of services your library offers, such as
library tours or school visits. The school librarian or teacher
can then have a visual to look over and decide what works best for them and
their students. As we learned at the Fall CSD meeting, schools are on
tight schedules so providing options of a couple different ways teachers
can partner with you to promote summer reading may get you into more classrooms.
