Spontaneous Combustion: School Libraries Providing the Spark to Connect Teens, Books, Reading-and Even Writing!

How Our Library Resource Center Became Center Stage Paulette Goodman, Library Resource Center Director at Kennedy Junior High School in Naperville, Illinois, shared with me information about the inspiring things she has done through her school library media center: "In creating a new library environment eighteen years ago, I knew that it needed to be interactive, allowing students to not only roam the stacks, but also to partake of a different menu - a menu of authors, storytellers, poets, musical groups, read-ins, contests and anything that kept them coming into the library and discovering its riches. [...]I've tried to have them be the ones to run the meetings, which sometimes works. On the back of the T-shirt we have the word 'READ' in the languages taught here at Corona del Sol, plus all the English Language Learner students' languages! * The students help to promote books by using our display cases in the library and setting up books related to that monthly theme on carts. * The students also make posters for the AZTYKES, our 3- to 4-year-olds who attend a day care here, for their weekly reading themes. When you hear about students and libraries like these, you can certainly envision many lifelong readers, learners, and library users developing as a result! "In preparation for each visit teachers and students throughout the school read a copy of the author's work and plan to have their students come to the library for an author fest The authors are often surprised by the seasoned questioners and the quality of the critical inquiries they receive.
