“FIZZ, BOOM, READ”IS NOT A SUMMER PRESCRIPTIONFOR YOUR BRAIN

SUMMER READING PROMOTION
Meet them where they are
Get them to come to the library
(this is POWERFUL stuff!)
HOW TO GET TO THE KIDS?
Teacher buy-in: Ask for 15 min at each grade level
TOPSAsk for three dates/times, make one
of them workIf possible communicate through the
LMC
15 MIN PITCH: SOME THINGS TO TRY
Talk TO the kids: no 4th wall
BRAIN DRAIN: The library can solve it!
2-3 things you want them to do: repeat them and make THE KIDS repeat them
ACTIVITY: YOUR PITCH (10 MIN)
What problem does your Summer Reading Program solve for kids?
What 2-3 things do you want them to remember?
What else could you say about the library to pump them up?
NOW YOU’VE DONE IT.THEY’RE COMING FOR YOU.
SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED SOME
Iron FistChild Management
HERE IS OUR BOAT.
• 18 year old memorial
•Steel sides
•Reward for “being caught reading” on it
The goal was to get kids to read on the Boat.
Why weren’t we successful?
REWARDING FOR EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Everyone likes being rewarded, right?
…is it a chore?
Children weren’t reading….
They were WAITING to “GET CAUGHT”(when they didn’t fast enough?)
THE QUESTION:
How do we set the kids upfor success?
1. Rename the Boat.2. Make clear rules.
THE ANSWER:
How do we make non-arbitrary rules?
MANAGING THE SPACE: ADULTS
MANAGING SPACE: CHILDREN
AND THE LIBRARY’S LIKE
AND YOU’RE LIKE
HERE’S THE THING:
They’re kids.
You need to tell them what to do.
You can’t assume anyoneTo know anythingYou didn’t teach themyourself.--kind of a mix between Bruner
and Vygotsky
ONE ESSENTIAL PART OF RULES:
How EXACTLY a child can meet your expectations
(AS SOON AS they meet them, say thanks)
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?
“No Running in the Library”
(What should I do instead?)
“Walking feet”(What does that EVEN
MEAN?)
“Walk Please”
YOU ARE THE AUTHORITY
Make your expectation clear
Mean what you say
Consequence: your disappointment
(as soon as they correct their behavior: THANK them)
1. Empower children to use the library effectively
2. Create a welcoming environment for kids
3. Ensure more positive interactions for you
SETTING CLEAR EXPECTATIONS WILL:
ACTIVITY: 15 MIN
There are two shiny envelopes per table. Inside is a rule or correction phrase a
librarian might use with a kid patron.
DISCUSS:1. Why is it problematic?2. How would you phrase it differently?
SETTING UP YOUR SPACE FOR SUCCESS
Take a look around and ask yourself the following questions:
1. Entering the Children’s area, what do I want a child to gravitate toward? MAKE THIS SHINY
2. Looking around the Children’s area, is there anything a child could do to destroy something completely irreplaceable? REMOVE THIS THING
SETTING YOUR SPACE UP FOR SUCCESS
