KNOWL EDGEI listened to children and discovered (shockingly) that tweens

did NOT want to be read to or sit and watch a show. They

wanted to have an adventure.

CBC COLUMN

First of all, thank you, school librarians. I love performing

educational enrichment programs for you and your students. I liken it to being a grandparent: I get to come and have fun with the kids but then ride off into the sunset before there is any diaper-changing to do. As such, I am grateful to the multitudes of librarians whose patronage, support, and advice have helped me develop and enhance my slate of programs.

I listened to children and discovered (shockingly) that tweens did NOT want to be read to or sit and watch a show. They wanted to have an adventure.

Then I listened to school librarians. Many expressed that, due to cutbacks and curriculum changes, they had far less time with students but more that they were required to teach them. In particular, they were frustrated about being short on time for one of their primary functions: teaching how the library is organized and how to locate books on different subjects.

In response to those needs, and keeping in mind my philosophy that kids learn by doing, I created my Monster Hunt Library Skills-Building Adventure Program, in which kids have a grand adventure, but unknowingly learn library research skills at the same time. In this program participants must locate books in the library that contain hidden clues that will help them track down and

at the heart of leading 21st-century skill

development in their schools, districts, and

beyond the walls of the library, collaborating

with teachers and administrators, facilitating

remote and virtual resources for students,

and drawing in parents and the community.

The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) is

the only national organization focused on school librarians

and school library programs. AASL empowers leaders

to transform teaching and learning. Taking advantage

of the opportunities listed in this media kit not only

more than 7,000 school librarians, 45 state-

level affiliated organizations, 3 specialty sections
