Library: A Verb, Not a Noun

Presenters

Kimbra Power

Barefoot Librarian, Shanghai American School

February 2025 - 21CLHK

We run three of the biggest events in the school year from our library and doing so creates a buzz in the community that encourages patrons to see the library as more than a big room full of books. By enticing students into our space with activities such as Books to Eat, Battle of the Books and our Cardboard Challenge, we place the library front and centre of all that is joyful in our students’ lives.
