(Something for next year...)

We had a successful collaboration with our food services department this year during Children's Book Week.  (A number of people asked me to share the results, here they are...)

Children's Book Week - Brought to you by Birch Grove Library and BGP Food Services
Each day was brought to you by a different book...(See attached flyer and menu below)
Children's Book week was advertised on our lunch menu.
We announced the book each morning during announcements.
There was a guest reader at least once that week at each lunch shift, sometimes more.  They read the "sponsoring" book or another "food related book."  (See attached list - thank you to all of you for sharing!)
We had bookmarks/activity sheets from the Children's Book Week website
We had displays in the cafeteria (the featured book was at the cashier)
We had displays in the library

It was great fun, easy to do, a great collaboration, thanks to food services for suggesting it.   

Feel free to use whatever you wish next year.
