Book Study: The Joy of Reading

*SDSL's School Library Services Book Study is moving from spring to fall.

Join us for an inspiring book study designed specifically for school librarians (and open to all librarians and other educators), focusing on Donalyn Miller's "The Joy of Reading". In this 4-week course, we'll explore practical strategies to rekindle the love of reading in students, build a vibrant reading community, and engage even the most reluctant readers. Through thoughtful reflection, applicable activities, and collaborative planning, you'll discover how to create a reading culture in your school that fosters joy, choice, and lifelong literacy. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with fellow librarians/educators and reimagine the impact of reading in your school/library!
