Looking for outreach opportunities?

Today I visited a local elementary school’s afterschool care program to promote the library and to spend some time with the kids.  What a fabulous place to connect with kids that you might not normally see at the library.  We think of the library as an afterschool hot-spot, but these kids do not have a means of getting there.  So, my advice – take the library to them!  We read aloud, had a book discussion, created a puzzle project, and even played some BINGO.  If you are looking to increase your outreach statistics and looking to connect with more kids and promote your library and literacy, contact elementary school afterschool care programs – there are so many kids awaiting a new face and new activities!
