Gotta Catch 'Em All! Pokémon in the Library


Ever thought about starting a Pokémon Club at your library?  Now is a great time!

The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) are partnering with Pokémon to encourage and support Pokémon Clubs in libraries. "Through this partnership, AASL and ALSC will provide members with a Pokémon Club kit to participating libraries to run Pokémon Clubs for their communities. These kits will include materials, resources, scaffolded activities, and prizing for children ages 5-14 who are participating in these clubs."

Participation in the Pokémon Club program does require:

  • That Pokémon Club coordinators are employed at a library or in a school as a librarian or media specialist.
  • Have ALA Membership falling in either the Type I, Type II or Student categories.
  • Membership in either AASL or ALSC.
