You may have heard about the Little Free Libraries popping up all across the globe, and now we have one in our library! I have one at my house, and I want to get one installed in front of our school, too... but for now, I have one inside the SPM library! This cool little bookshelf was purchased with Scholastic dollars from my leftover book fair money. It was about $250 with the shipping. It wasn't difficult to put together, either... and that's saying something for someone who has ZERO spatial reasoning skills. Here's a timelapse video of me putting it together! (I know, I know... such a dork, really...) I dragged it into the morning announcements room and talked it up... within just a few minutes a fabulous teacher brought down a whole crate full of books to donate! It didn't take long for the first period classes to get excited about it... they swarmed it! When I explained to them that they could keep the books if they loved them, they were SUPER excited! I am grateful to have yet another way to put books in student hands! Now I just have to get a community Little Free Library in front of the school... Hmmm.....
How are you encouraging literacy in your school? Post your ideas below, I'd love to see them!
