Print You may now place your order for READ pins for the 2011 children, teen, and adult summer reading program themes: “One World, Many Stories,”  “You Are Here,” and “Novel Destinations.”

We received over 150 votes for this year’s pin (!), but one of the designs was the clear winner. View the final design. For those who asked, the star on the pin roughly marks the Bermuda Triangle. We think it’s a fun and unexpected design element.

Price: $0.63 each Continue reading ‘Order Summer Reading READ Lapel Pins Now!’

2011ReadPinDesigns

The summer reading theme is a little harder to identify this year… so we went for a globe or map concept.

  • Children’s theme:  One World, Many Stories
  • Teen theme:  You Are Here
  • Adult theme:  Novel Destinations

Don’t forget to fill out the comment section if you have something extra to say.

We couldn’t resist posting these fun photos from Kathy Barco at the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Library System. Like most public libraries in Colorado, they are doing the “Make a Splash” summer reading program theme.

Youth Services Workshop – Westminster, 10.16.09

Last week, I was fortunate enough to attend the last of six Youth Services workshops being held around the state.  The College Hill Library in Westminster hosted (and couldn’t have been more gracious), and I do believe a great time was had by all.

In the morning, Kathy Barco from the Albuquerque Public Library presented ideas for 2010 summer reading, including decorations, crafts, celebrations, activities, refreshments, programs, and more. The themes are “Make a Splash @ Your Library” (children) and “Make Waves @ Your Library” (teens).

The afternoon included discussion of after-school programming, a report on the LSTA Early Literacy (CLEL) Storytime grants, an update on State Library youth services initiatives, and of course distribution of the 2010 statewide summer reading program manuals.

Here are some of the photos I took during the day. Enjoy!
