Circulating Storytime Bags - Question About Diversity
by Lorry Traver 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Good morning Library Land, In an attempt to increase diversity within our storytime checkout bags, I was wondering if those of you who have circulating bags in your youth department might be able to offer me some ideas. Our bags contain two picture books, an educational toy, and some type of activity and we have bags for Pre-K, Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade. I created a "Let's Learn Spanish" bag last year, but aside from adding "how to speak" language bags, I am not coming up with many ideas for how to include everyone in these bags. Thank you so much for any help or ideas you are able to provide. -- *"Keep reading. It's one of the most marvelous adventures that anyone can have." - Lloyd Alexander* *Lorry Traver (She/Her)* Public Services Librarian Brandon Township Library 248-627-1460
