- 3. PINTEREST
- 4. SUMMER READING PROMOTION  Meet them where they are  Get them to come to the library (this is POWERFUL stuff!)
- 5. HOW TO GET TO THE KIDS?  Teacher buy-in:  Ask for 15 min at each grade level TOPS  Ask for three dates/times, make one of them work  If possible communicate through the LMC
- 6. 15 MIN PITCH: SOME THINGS TO TRY  Talk TO the kids: no 4th wall  BRAIN DRAIN: The library can solve it!  2-3 things you want them to do: repeat them and make THE KIDS repeat them

- 9. SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED SOME
- 10. HERE IS OUR BOAT. • 18 year old memorial •Steel sides •Reward for “being caught reading” on it The goal was to get kids to read on the Boat. Why weren’t we successful?
- 11. REWARDING FOR EXPECTED BEHAVIOR  Everyone likes being rewarded, right? …is it a chore?
- 12.  Children weren’t reading…. They were WAITING to “GET CAUGHT” (when they didn’t fast enough?) 

- 21. ONE ESSENTIAL PART OF RULES: How EXACTLY a child can meet your expectations (AS SOON AS they meet them, say thanks)
- 22. WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?  “No Running in the Library” (What should I do instead?)  “Walking feet” (What does that EVEN MEAN?)  “Walk Please”
- 23. YOU ARE THE AUTHORITY  Make your expectation clear  Mean what you say  Consequence: your disappointment (as soon as they correct their behavior: THANK them)
- 24. SETTING CLEAR EXPECTATIONS WILL: 1. 2. 3. Empower children to use the library effectively Create a welcoming environment for kids Ensure more positive interactions for you
- 25. ACTIVITY: 15 MIN There are two shiny envelopes per table.  Inside is a rule or correction phrase a librarian might use with a kid patron.   1. 2. DISCUSS: Why is it problematic? How would you phrase it differently?
- 26. SETTING UP YOUR SPACE FOR SUCCESS Take a look around and ask yourself the following questions: 1. Entering the Children’s area, what do I want a child to gravitate toward?   MAKE THIS SHINY 2. Looking around the Children’s area, is there anything a child could do to destroy something completely irreplaceable?  REMOVE THIS THING
