Yes, storytime and/or book talks accompany all our reading incentive programs.
With tie-ins to curriculum, our school's "value of the month" or whatever else
will work. Without programming, there'd be almost no circulation these
days.Andrea Rapp

preschool through 5th grade classes on Sunday mornings in addition to monthly
preschool storytimes. I do read stories but also sometimes do more specific
curriculum enhancing reading and discussions with students. I often pull books
related to a specific topic they are studying as I have access to the
curriculum and email scheduled teachers each week. Sometimes we have some “show
and tell” with historical books, Talmud, a book with great photos, other
synagogues, etc. I also do book talking for 4th and 5th graders and try to
“auction” off books. I’m trying to encourage students to add their book
reviews and ratings to the catalog; and a couple of teachers have reserved some
class time to follow up and do that with students. Some years, I have tried
Jewish Book Month read-a-thons or reading “contests” but my limited hours
prevent me from really promoting and doing a good job on that kind of
programming. We occasionally have a book author come and selected classes
(grades) get to go. We are gearing up for more programming this year but I’m
not yet sure how I will be able to manage adding that to my plate. Wish I
could see 6th and up, but there is no time in their crunched curriculum to add
library. I am often asking about the possibility of a book club elective.
Also, I would love to have an online book discussion with middle schoolers –
perhaps that is something to try during Jewish Book Month one year. Toby

Subject: [ha-Safran] library services for religious school For those of you
working with religious school (not day school), what do you do beyond storytime
and discussion when classes come in to visit the library? Especially looking
for thoughts on engaging upper elementary and middle school kids. Thanks!
