Our Summer Reading Program starts tomorrow and goes through August 8. We have programs happening every day of the week and most weekends from June to the end of Summer Reading. My branch alone has around 5,000+ kids and teens participate in the Summer Reading Program, not to mention all the patrons that come through our doors and don’t turn in Summer Reading Program information. It’s going to be a long, busy Summer!
That’s why my staff and I came up with our Summer Stress Relief Basket this year. We cleared off a space in our workroom and created a space for us to take a break and relax. I added some Kinetic Sand-which is perfect for a quick relaxing brain break! I also included a copy of Secret Garden, the very popular and intricate adult coloring book. My staff have added chocolate and other treats and we’ll keep adding to it throughout the Summer.
Our goal is to remind ourselves that we’re doing a great job and to take a breather every once in awhile!
What would you put in your Summer Stress Relief Basket?
