The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) has announced a new campaign to get school-aged children to use their public libraries: KIDS! @ your library. Hurrah! One of my huge issues with many families’ use of libraries is that we see them as preschoolers, but once they hit school age they disappear. Right at the age that they need easy readers, beginning chapter books, and great reading material to inspire them to continue learning and finding reading to be joyous. This is a campaign I can really embrace.

I’m chair of the Kids! @ your library Task Force. We are collecting and sharing Best Practices of campaign materials. To do this, we set up a wiki to collect these success stories. If you’ve used materials from the campaign, please let us know. A link to the Best Practices Wiki can be found on our website: http://www.ala.org/kids We look forward to reading everyone’s great ideas! Thank you.
