Literacy Activities/Reading Advocacy

• New Book Browse: o With our first big book order coming in, we set up a book browse to give each

book some “face time” by spreading them out across the twelve tables. We invited classes to come through and browse through the books laid out. This took place from 10/11-13. We advertised via email door signs, and a large sign near the books in the library.

• Teen Read Week October 17-24; Theme – “Picture It” o A Daily “Picture It” Contest – 33 different winners o Bookmark Yourself – customized free bookmarks o A special BYOB book club (described below) o Hunger Games Quote Quiz sponsored o Fine Forgiveness all week in honor of Teen Read Week (two weeks)

• BYOB Book Club Tuesday, October 18; 47 students participated in the “Bring Your Own Book” club meeting where they interacted with the SCPL Headquarters Branch Teen Librarian to eat and discus popular titles. Titles were selected for a future group reading, and date was set for the next meeting to correspond with Teen Read Week in October. Melanie Dillard acted as the DHS Library sponsor for the group/club meetings held during each lunch.

• Our Overdrive Ebook portal was introduced to teachers; students coming soon. • The library sponsored a “Teacher’s Read” display in the library, asking teachers to

submit book reviews for their favorite young adult novels. Melanie Dillard’s idea to highlight these books took hold, and teachers did request books to read and review. These reviews are being displayed prominently in the library. The following teachers submitted reviews:

o Laura Ann Jacobs o Jen Mechling o Kristin Pitts o Heather Yordy o Cathy Nelson o Jennifer Gallman o Cyrenna Moreno o Jo Murphy o Julie Smallfield

• The media center was charged with decorating the display cases in front of the office for the month of October. Cathy Nelson created four displays with the assistance of student library workers:

o Hunger Games Book to Movie Review o Hunger Games quote quiz displayed—it is a part of our Teen Read Week

activities o A special promo of the South Carolina Young Adult Book Award program o A Dorman Reads display that showcases the top ten books checked out at

Dorman over the past year; the display highlights the top ten for both Fiction and Nonfiction
