Links: Library Love

I thought, for this link post, I would share some links I liked or found useful as a former librarian.

*

Library Websites

Library Games
A great website with lots of activities and ideas for making libraries fun.

Chatterbooks
Information on setting up a Chatterbooks reading group.

Roald Dahl Day
Celebrating all things Roald Dahl with lots of activities for children.

World Book Day
A must for the calendar, so many options and ideas for schools and libraries to celebrate the day. Many authors get involved with World Book Day, too.

International Literacy Day
Another one for the calendar.

Library Books and Lesson Resources

Booked In by Louise Heyden is a fantastic book for any librarian (the above link goes through to the Book Depository site, where it can be ordered online).

The Times Education Supplement website has so many useful resources for teachers. Some are also great for librarians, particularly sheets and session ideas on book characters and activities when you need them.
