From time to time we like to post about resources we think will interest our readers. And we welcome resource suggestions and comments from our readers too.

Library Sparks is a magazine for elementary level teachers and children’s librarians. Each issue is packed with lesson plans, activities and programming ideas; all intended to help motivate kids to love reading and integrate wonderful literature throughout the curriculum. The March issue features an interview with author Claire Nivola, a camping webquest and other nature activities, and a library lesson about endangered animals. News on children’s books from the experts at the Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC) are included in each issue. And there are always Web Resources that correlate to the theme of the printed issue. Request a free sample for yourself or a colleague.
