The WildLibrary etsy shop is now open! We have only a few items listed so far, but more are coming. All games and activities are accompanied by a Common-Core alighned lesson plan. The games are laminated using high-quality laminate (much heavier than regular school laminating). The cost of the items is to cover the materials and laminating, and anything extra will help me attend and present at future conferences. As a bonus for our first customers, anyone who purchases before the end of October will receive a free PDF of my Halloween "madlibs" style Thesaurus game to use with your students this fall!

Summer News
Whew! This summer has gone by fast!
I took a grad class on Beginning Reading through NYSUT to make my library lessons more effective. It's been a ton of work, but I think it's going to make a big difference. I've been getting lots of new ideas!
Speaking of new ideas, I've had plenty requests for me to make extras of my games and stations and sell them. So I'm going to give it a try. I've mad...

e batches of Dewey Go Fish and some other games and activities. By the end of the weekend I should be announcing the opening of an Etsy shop for them. I'll keep posting as much as I can on the blog and giving out the lesson plans and directions for anyone to use, but now those of you who are short on time can get a little help.
I also hope to post my preliminary outlines for grades K-6 by the end of next week so you can see what will be happening in my school libraries this year.
Stay tuned and happy last two weeks of vacation!

New and Improved - On Facebook!
Even though this is technically a blog, you may have noticed that it is updated only every few months like a website. The reason is that, like all of us, I'm busy with work duties, and each post takes several uninterrupted hours to prepare (with photos, uploading documents, etc.).
But don't despair! WildLibrary now has a Facebook page which will have updates at least weekly. This way you can see what's happening in my actual libraries day to day and see new lessons and activities in a more timely manner. It will also be easier for librarians to share their own activities with each other.
So find "WildLibrary" on Facebook - look for the Wiser owl picture!
