October Library Ideas

October.  Summer is gone with fall beginning its reign.  This is usually the signal that school is in full-swing and routines are almost standard.   So what’s happening in California’s school libraries?  What routines are being followed?  What events does a typical school library host during the month of October?

Here are some events that you can use to promote your collection or sponsor an event in your library:

• Banned Books Week (Sept. 27- Oct. 3)  ALA’s Frequently Challenged Books or CSLA Pinterest Board
• Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15- Oct. 15)  Scholastic’s 24 Great Ideas
• Teen Read Week (Oct. 18-14) Teen Read Week Activities
• Halloween (Oct. 31)  Fall Library Displays on Pinterest   Another Pinterest Board Another Pinterest Board And Door Display Ideas Board

And don’t by shy, share your success stories with us and your patrons, teachers, administrators, and library supporters to show we are active participants in our libraries.  Tweet or post on Facebook or share a pin on Pinterest.  Use the CSLA official hashtag #4csla so that we can retweet or add that to our collection of ideas.

Don’t forget about PiBoMo (Picture Book Month) which is in November.
