Whether it's checking their hair or makeup, avoiding classwork, or actually answering nature's call, middle school students seem to like to spend inordinate amounts of time in the bathroom, so what better place to promote books to them than the restroom? I decided to make my own tear-off sheets (a la college apartment rental bulletin boards) and hang them up around the school and in the restroom. They looked like this: It was not my idea - I stole it from the Future Ready Librarians Facebook page... but I made ten of these for my students. I sent them to printing and had them printed on cardstock and in full color. When they arrived at school, I was in LOVE with how they turned out! My library helpers hung them up around the school, and almost immediately I had students bring me the little sheets, requesting a book! Whatever it takes to put books in the hands of kids, right? If you want access to my folder full of bathroom signs, you can get it HERE. Note that they are Pages documents, so they will have to be downloaded to a Macbook to be edited. Feel free to make your own with the template, too!
What Bathroom Book advertisements would you suggest I make next? What's new or popular in your building? Drop a comment below and let me know!
