Mixing-up Library Tours

In November, I had a homeschooling group request a library tour. The group included children ages 5-12. Because of staffing, we could only do one tour for the whole group of 25 kids plus parents. I've been meaning to mix-up my group visits. I figured a scavenger hunt would work for the wide age range. The kids could work in teams or parents could help. The Show Me Librarian came through for me again! I adapted the coded scavenger hunt featured in Amy's blog post. The visit was a huge success! All the ages were engaged in the hunt and the parents loved it, too!

Thank you again Show Me Librarian!

LaCrosse Librarians Share the Lowdown on How to Create a FIELD TRIP ADVENTURE!

Those of us lucky enough to attend the It’s Not a Tour—It’s a FIELD TRIP ADVENTURE! session at the 2014 WLA conference got to hear how Sara Bryce, Brooke Rasche, and Linda Jerome of the LaCrosse Public Library have transformed school library visits and were infused with all the enthusiasm they must share with their field trip adventurers!

Weren't there? Went to another session? Well, you're still in luck because Sara Bryce shared the awesomeness along with the fabulous Chuck Norris memes on her blog Bryce Don't Play. Read all about it here and take your school tours to the next level.




They assured us that Field Trip Adventures are possible even for small libraries with a little adaptation.
