Discover ideas for including Book Connections resources in library programs for children.

• Whether you use CSLP, iRead, or plan your own program, you can find booklists with ready-made resources to meet your summer needs on the Summer Reading page.

  • Create your own lists or explore the options for all different age groups and audiences.

  • Filter lists by resource type to find what you need for programs.

  • Encourage patrons to navigate TeachingBooks on their own by including it in your Summer Reading Program activities.

• Find all the books in a series in one place (and in order!). Check out the series page for Dog Man and find resources for each book as well as for the entire series. Throw a Dog Man party with some of the related activities:

  • Play a memory game.

  • Pair this video of Dav Pilkey painting with instructions for how to draw Dog Man yourself.

• Try a subject search to find titles on a popular topic like sharks. From there you can find not only new books on the subject, but also resources to use in shark-themed programming:

  • Meet-the-Author Recording with Katherine Roy, author of Neighborhood Sharks

  • Robo Shark Challenge for Shark Lady

  

• Explore the full Reader’s Theater collection to find the right scripts for the young readers and actors at your library or take a look at some examples:
