Promote those library programs! These colorful, eye-catching infographics are perfect for advertising your library's statistics and upcoming events! Edit the data, print, and display these beautiful signs on the circulation desk or library bulletin board.

Does your school library subscribe to multiple online databases? If your school is like mine, your teachers and students struggle to remember to use the databases. Enter the library resources brochure!

Looking for a fun reading log alternative? This is a set of three different Reading Challenges. I've used them as reading incentives for Grades 5-12, but they can also be used with younger elementary students. They are easy to implement and differentiate for individual student reading goals.

Why use Reading Bingo Cards in the library? Let's face it: many middle school students are reluctant to read across a variety of genres. This set of 6 library book bingo cards is a gamefied library reading challenge. It encourages students to try new books, authors, formats, and genres.

Do your students pooh-pooh picture books as "for babies"? This reading challenge asks students to read picture books from around the world. Includes Reading Passport, flag labels for book spines, bookmarks of titles, and a presentation to introduce students to the picture book challenge.

Looking for a highly engaging Dewey Decimal System Activity that turns a dry Dewey Decimal Library Lesson into your students' favorite week of the year? With this hands-on Design a Zoo project, upper-elementary students create their own system of classification, just as Melvil Dewey once did!

Need Dewey Decimal System activities for older students? Use this two-part Zombie themed library lesson to teach Dewey Decimals through a zombie apocalypse story! It's great for any time of the year, but it also works well as Halloween alternative for middle school.

Students LOVE this Zombie Dewey Decimal System game! In groups, students select from 25 zombie apocalypse scenarios. Next, they roll the dice to determine which Dewey Decimal System tools their group can use to survive that scenario. Includes wilderness survival, disease, hunger, and zombies!

This role-playing game can be used before or after teaching the Dewey Decimal System. It does not teach Dewey itself and should not be used in isolation without teaching Dewey in a recent or upcoming lesson. During the game, students will apply Dewey groupings to various survival scenarios.

If you need to teach Dewey first, try my "After the Zombie Apocalypse" Dewey Decimal Story" or Zombie Dewey Decimal System Bundle. Both are for Grades 5-8.
