Shelf Challenge 2015 !

2015 Shelf Challenge Logo (1)

It’s almost time for the SLM Shelf Challenge of 2015!

Matthew Winner (aka The Busy Librarian) started the Shelf Challenge in 2012 as an opportunity to check out what is REALLY on your school library shelves during the month of April.

This year he’s passed the torch to me, and I can’t wait to travel on this journey.

It’s a simple quest really:

  • Find a shelf in your collection to read daily throughout the month of April. Your goal may be to read what you really have on those shelves, find some hidden gems, discover weeding material, or just have fun expanding your PLN on Twitter. (Some librarians choose a shelf in Easy Fiction to read cover to cover, some read a section of Fiction, just by actually looking at the cover, inside and reading a blurb from every book on one shelf in Fiction. The choice is yours!)
  • Attempt reading each book on that shelf for the month of April. Let me know on this Google Form what shelf you are reading and your other info so I can be your shelf challenge cheerleader!
  • Share your finds on social media (See links below.)
  • When you are done, please fill out this Google Form and let our PLN know how you did!

All the links- join up with your favorite social media!

The blog: I’ll be blogging about my shelf reads on SLMShelfChallenge.blogspot.com.  Last year, I read through a lonely shelf in my fiction section and found all sorts of amazingly bad 80s book covers. This year, I’ve chosen a shelf in graphic novels I’d love to get to know and I’m going to try and post about each read every day!

The Pinterest: Join our Pinterest board and add your favs and your “I can’t believe I haven’t weeded this…” books:  https://www.pinterest.com/busylibrarian/slm-shelf-challenge/.

The Twitter: Tweet it out with our #shelfchallenge hashtag.

The Instagram: For all of the #librariesofinstagram, use the #shelfchallenge hashtag and I’ll “re-gram” your post on my lamar_library Instagram account!

Embed the Canva: Edit the logo, make it your own, and put it on your blog: https://www.canva.com/design/DABKimc2U3o/47HipOa4cH4dcjwEn9hJ2w/edit

Let’s get reading!
