Year End Book Share
Facilitator: Sara White, Youth Services Consultant at the Washington State Library
Let's celebrate the end of 2021 with an epic youth book share! This month's YS3C meeting will be an open conversation to talk about the books we loved, the books we read at storytime, the books we recommended to kids and teens, and the books that are flying off our shelves this year.
Feel free to bring any of the following to share with your colleagues:
- Board Books
- Picture Books
- Beginning Readers
- Early Chapter Books
- Middle Grade Books
- Teen Books
- Fiction
- Non-fiction
- If it's for babies, kids, or teens -- anything goes!
Be prepared to share:
- The title, author, and target age of a few of the best books you read in 2021
- The cover (if you have it available)
- A short spoiler-free synopsis
- Why did you like it?
- Who would you recommend it to?
- Have you used it in a program/storytime/outreach?
We'll get through as many book recommendations as we can in an hour. Books don't have to be 2021 books, but if you read anything great that came out in 2021 that would be ideal. You're also welcome to share the most popular new books that are circulating in your library, whether or not you've read them.
I will take notes and send out a master list of all the recommended books for you to use as you wish!
