<div>
<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Earlier this year Erin Fitzpatrick-Bjorn announced the “Every Kid in a Park” initiative on our list serve. I shared this with my media assistants. We are going to make an effort once a month to focus on a different park throughout the year for every
4th grade class during their library visit. In the effort to help promote it we have done the following:</div>
<ol>
<li>Purchased eBooks of national parks to be available for student checkout. (These were pushed out from our Follett district shelf to all elementary buildings.) </li><li>Purchased a set of “The Parkers” in eBook format to make available to students. There are quite a few parks featured in the set.</li><li>Promote the unlimited user National Geographic national parks series that is in our Gale state database: “Mysteries in Our National Parks”. There are 13 books/parks in the series.</li><li>The National Geographic database also has a copy of “National Parks Guide U.S.A.: The Most Amazing Sights, Scenes, & Cool Activities From Coast to Coast!” for unlimited use.</li><li>Issue a park pass to each 4th grade student for use with their family. The pass is good through August 31, 2016. </li><li>(Know the pass is good for every federal park, not just the regular national parks. There are over 2000 sites which will accept the pass.)
