Wild and Crazy Dogs Love Adventure Books

When asked which dog book was her two tiny dogs' favorite, teacher librarian Connie immediately replied, "Call of the Wild" by Jack London.

The dog duo image is now on a tote bag with a "Support Strong School Libraries" message on the backside of the bag. See cafepress.com/csla.897215937

Big Dog and Little Friend Mini-BookMarks

Back-to-school time is around the corner.

Big Dog (Loki, a brindle-colored terrier) and Little Dog (Ivy, a miniature pincher-chihuahua mix) have joined their bookmark friends. Both love good books and enjoy nothing more than hearing a good story!

Here are some ways these bookmarks and promotions for strong libraries are used. How will you use them? Let us know.

• Attach or insert seasonal bookmarks with holiday greetings, meeting reminders, thank you notes to donors and volunteers, or new library books.  
• Offer a wide selection of mini bookmarks at each Back-to-school, Site Council, PTA, School Board Meeting, workshop and conference. Use the bookmarks to start a conversation and advocate for your library. 
• Include a set or several sets of bookmarks in a book gift basket as a raffle or silent auction item.
• Carry a small supply of mini bookmarks with you at all times -- you never know when you can use them as conversation starters!
