HOW TO MAKE LIBRARY BOOK CARE FUN!
Make book care memorable by turning lessons into hands-on games and creative visuals. Start with a lively interactive slideshow guessing game. Follow up with bookmarks, coloring pages, and handouts to help reinforce book care learning.
If you ask most students how to take care of books, they’ll usually say “yes” with confidence. But once you go over book care tips for home and school, many are surprised—they’ve never even thought about rules like keeping books away from food, pets, or little siblings. Can you relate?
That’s why teaching library book care early in the year is so valuable. When students later tell you they placed their library book on a high shelf—safe from the family dog or toddler—it’s one of those heart-melting teacher moments. 💗 For me, book care lessons are some of the most rewarding parts of library teaching.
Of course, while book care is important, it can feel boring for kids. That’s why I designed resources to make it fun, engaging, and memorable! Keep scrolling to explore interactive slideshow lessons and no-prep printables that will bring energy and excitement into your book care sessions.
