Collaborative Summer Reading Program
TPiB: Squishy Circuits
“I’m going to show you two things you can’t do – these things are dangerous and can destroy the materials, which means no more fun. Then you guys can do whatever you want with this stuff.” “Anything we want? Like, there’s no instructions?”“Well, I have some instructions if you want them. They’re over on the […]
TPiB: Sharpie “Tie Dye” T’s
Every summer I run at least one T shirt decorating program because they are surefire hits for my group. Tie dying is the classic, but truth be told, it really pushes the limits of my willingness to tolerate mess and spend gobs of setup and cleanup time. This year we’re trying a different spin on […]
Playlist: Science Rocks My World
I am a firm believer that music makes everything better… whether it’s driving through massive traffic, cleaning house, or summer reading programs. Since my system has gone with the Collaborative Summer Reading Program theme this year (SCIENCE for ALL) I have come up with the ULTIMATE playlist to get myself into the zone for any […]

This year’s collaborative summer reading theme, Fizz Book Read or Spark A Reaction, has a science theme to it.

TPiB: Fizz Boom Read Movies for the Family

If you are like me, spring break has already passed and you are frantically trying to fill out your summer reading planning. Part of the problem is that you don’t know when school is going to end exactly- while here in Texas we’re less apt to have to stretch the school calendar, others I […]

TPIB: Secret Agent Man for the Summer
A lot of librarians I’ve talked to who are working within the Collaborative Summer Reading Program are doing ground things for “Dig Up A Good Book”- touch a truck programs, digging animals, etc. And for “Beneath The Surface” there are a lot of spa treatment programs, mermaids, and technology. I must be weird because my […]
TPiB: Magic in Books and Movies, past, present and future (part 1)
I am a huge fan of fantasy fiction, and whenever I can do anything that ties that into a program, I am all for it. Add in the huge popularity of a HUGE movie franchise, a recent movie release, and an upcoming movie, and it’s a recipe for excitement! Not to mention, they absolutely fit […]
TPiB: Mummies
Tweens and teens in my library are separated not only by that HUGE stretch of year (twelve going to thirteen) but by what they are interested in. My teens seem to want movie programs where they can chill, do crafts, and play games in corners and socialize, or gaming programs where we have a variety […]
Graphically Speaking: From Page to Screen, summer movies based on graphic novels
I am in *love* with movies that are based off of comics and graphic novels. Nothing makes me happier than an excellent adaptation of them, and nothing ticks my inner geek off more than a crappy one. And it’s such an excellent way to tie those readers who swear they aren’t readers (or don’t think […]
