This summer encourage library visits and motivate book selection for summer reading with an imaginary movie ticket!
According to Librarian News You Can Use* there are many ways to entice and inspire summer reading. Public school and library summer reading programs have adopted 'matinee time' strategies to attract patrons. Many have seen a great response from their communities appearing to view a popular movie then perusing the stacks for books to read.
Some libraries make sure they have enough of the book version of the movie available to check-out from the library system on the day of the movie matinee. Others may choose a "read the book, then see the movie" program with guided discussion afterward.
Help your students to continue regular reading throughout the summer with these lists of "books to movies" from Perma-Bound.
