TASL's Innovative Library Media Program Award 2008
TASL will soon be accepting nominations for the Innovative Library Media Award for 2008. Library media specialists have developed outstanding creative programs and should be honored for these dynamic ideas. The award will recognize an innovative program at the elementary, middle, and high school level. All TASL members are eligible, and each recipient will receive $500.00 at the 2008 TASL conference.
The 2007 Innovative Library Award
winners is:
Jeannine Brown
Library Media Specialist
Lakeland Elementary
"Booked for the Evening"
Jeannine's inspiration was that parents make reservations for hotels
for family trips. Why not have them reserve time for a "Family Reading
Night"?
She placed tips for reading in the PTA's newsletters and put posters in
the hall at the school. Parents filled out a reservation form stating
what night would
be "Family Reading Night." Every student that return a reservation form
received a special bookmark. In addition, classes with 100%
participation receive an extra story tome with the public library and
popsicles.
Jeannine has been inspiring children to read for almost 30 years in the
classroom and in the library.
All applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the award committee using the following criteria.
A. What need does the project address?
B. Are the objectives clearly stated?
C. Is the project creative?
D. How many students are involved in the project?
E. What verification has been submitted?
