The opportunity to meet and idea-share with colleagues from all over the country is quickly becoming one of my favorite things about Midwinter. Last night I attended a few events where school librarians and public children’s librarians abounded, and a consistent topic of interest was the potential in school library\/public library partnerships.<\/p>\n

\n– Mock Newbery and\/or Caldecott discussions, or award information presentations
\n– summer reading promotional rallies
\n– library card drives (promotion to get all children in a grade\/school library cards)
\n– frequent public librarian presence in the school library, and school librarian presence in the public library, to build visibility and a literacy support network<\/p>\n
