Connections ESC Region 11 Fall Library Conference 2024

Need to revive your library and boost circulation? We propose a two-pronged approach that will breathe new life into secondary school libraries. Reviving secondary libraries means creating a safe, comfortable haven for teen readers while igniting a passion for literacy. Participants will walk away with bold, practical strategies for vibrant displays, student-centered spaces, and intentional literacy programming that renews energy and increases circulation in secondary libraries.

Use the Bluebonnet list to build a reading culture at your school! Learn what resources are available and how you can use them.

This session will help teachers and librarians encourage kids to love reading, discover the 2024-2025 Texas Bluebonnet Award Reading List books, learn ways to connect these titles to readers, and gain some practical activity ideas to create and use in their own classrooms. Will also feature cover reveals of 2025-2026 nominees.  

Your staff can be a huge asset as you promote the library and love of reading to students! Join us for ideas to get your staff involved to create a culture of reading on your campus!
