Link Round Up for June 2022: Creative Displays, Important Info on Book Banning, and More

June 15, 2022 by Karen Jensen, MLS   Leave a Comment

Here’s a secret you may not know: I started TLT in part to get all my thoughts down and together in one place so I could find them again. And I have, in fact, used TLT as a type of journal, or perhaps I have been creating my own teen services manual. So today I am sharing with you a Link Roundup of links that I want to remember, but also think you may find awesome, helpful, or informative in some way.

Link 1: Creative Display Idea – A Catalog of RA Tools

I have been seeing this one around, and apparently it’s very popular on TikTok. I have seen it primarily from Kathie MacIsaac on Twitter, but she sends people to the Tik Tok of @bee_in_the_library. It’s a great way to take all those RA tools you make and put them in one place for your students/patrons.

TikTok made me do it! I bought this awesome display unit and Iโ€™m working on 20 pages of recommendations for my middle grade readers of books we have in our collection and their call numbers. I hope this will help circulate more #mglit this summer. pic.twitter.com/WNPxzX2e27

You can find several options by searching “catalog display” on Amazon.

Link 2: Templates for the Above Creative Display Idea

Melissa Corey has been generously sharing some Canva templates that you can edit which would work nice with the display idea above. You can find her Visual Book Lists here: https://visualbooklists.wordpress.com/. I have already used them and honestly, they are awesome. Thanks Melissa, you are doing amazing things!

Made one place to house all these book lists so everything is organized and easy to find (because thatโ€™s what librarians do!). Iโ€™m calling these Visual Book Lists (in my head) so hereโ€™s the one stop shop! Each list is posted along w/Canva template to edit: https://t.co/peNgGpUb9P pic.twitter.com/lYgqu3bdzm

Link 3: Book Banning in the News

Publisher’s Weekly has a post about the current wave of book banning and how it impacts a kid’s right to read. You can read it here: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-industry-news/article/89582-when-libraries-are-a-battlefield-standing-up-for-kids-right-to-read.html

Link 4: Why Do Teens Read?

Here are the results of a survey that asks the question: http://celebratescience.blogspot.com/2022/06/why-teens-read.html

Link 5: Another Creative Display Idea!

This library did a display of books on travel and each book contains a bookmark that looks like a plane ticket!

"Take Flight" display at The High Point Branch, featuring young adult books that takes place in other countries and travel destinations. Each book has a bookmark that looks like a plane ticket. โœˆ
