Pursuing excellence for library service to children

 

The first rule of Teen Services Underground is: tell everyone you know about Teen Services Underground!

 

This is a resource collection of my programming plans. Feel free to reuse the materials presented here in library and school settings (storytime etc.) but please don't reuse any photographs or sell any of the materials included.

 

All kinds of marketing ideas for all kinds of libraries.

 

All you need to know in the time you have

 

Tune in for storytime success

 

My current goal is to add to the field of school-age librarianship sharing activities, books, and crafts.

 

Peter Blenski has been a children’s librarian in the Milwaukee area for seven years.  After several contentious elections, he has been president of his Lego Club for the past four years.  He loves to create new challenges for his kids, and feels this approach to structured play combines creativity and problem solving with cooperation and time management.  Peter also writes reviews for both “School Library Journal” and “Booklist.”  He spends most of his free time with his wife and their dog, Loki.
