Passive Programming in the School Library: Sneaky Ways to Draw Kids In

Passive programming engages learners both young and old(er). These types of activities draw students into the library and require minimal work up front. Programs can run for weeks on end so students can play and engage on their own time frame. Elevate your program on a minimalist budget and get kids involved. Be a sneaky library ninja and lead them in to the library with your creative curriculum connections.

Stephanie Mills is entering her fifteenth year as a Teacher-Librarian. She is the librarian at Park View Middle School in Cranston and also serves as the co-chair for SLRI's Communications Committee. Stephanie believes "every book has a reader, every reader has a book," and her passions include cultivating a school-wide climate to support reading and creating energetic scholars out of students who claim they don't like books.
