Harlem Shake - SRP Version!
The Summer Reading Planning Workshop in February was a great day of fun and great ideas for the summer.
Before lunchtime, morning speaker Anne Horjus and some of the other participants decided to do their version of the "Harlem Shake."
Once it was filmed, I mixed it and uploaded the final version to YouTube.
It was also featured in the April Wisconsin Youth Services Showcase.
Take a look! Do you recognize anyone you know?

Two Workshops in March
Two great youth workshops will be presented in March! One will be held at NeighborWorks in Green Bay, and the other will be held at the Appleton Public Library.
Looking to enhance your tween/teen Summer Reading Program? We will look at various SRP models from around the country and discuss which models we can incorporate into our own libraries. By increasing the number of programs that encourage literacy, changing our "old school" mindset, and working with outside agencies, we can truly transform our Summer Reading Programs into local, national, and even global inspirations.
Register here!

Theme and Slogan Ideas Needed !
The Collaborative Summer
Library Program would like the input of Wisconsin
librarians on 2015 slogans and the 2016 theme.
Remember, a theme is a
general topic and the slogan is the tagline, e.g. Underground is the theme,
“Dig Into Reading” is the slogan.
Slogan ideas are needed for the 2015 theme of Heroes/Superheroes/Villains,
for the early literacy/children category, the teen category, and the adult
category.
Please also send me ideas for
the 2016 theme. It can be anything but preferably not
food-related.
Email me your best slogans
and your top themes by Thursday, February 7th!
