Visual Outreach!
[https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/fe7418f8-1bd8-7419-1759-b92d1f40ead8.jpg]The Radford Public Library, VA, leveraged this year's artwork in a big way! They created a Summer Reading billboard! Designed by Library IT Coordinator Duncan Hall (pictured here with his children) this billboard put summer programming front and center in the community. Library Director Elizabeth Sensabaugh received many positive comments, and felt they reached quite a few more people with this marketing effort than they would have otherwise.

Montgomery County Public Libraries (MD) "Summer Reading Challenge!" Goes Green!
Montgomery County Public Libraries' "Summer Reading Challenge!" is going green! This year instead of awarding plastic prizes during their summer reading program, Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) will celebrate children's and teens' reading accomplishments by supporting the conservation efforts of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to save the Bay, which feeds the Atlantic Ocean. Five hundred trees will be planted in the Bay's watershed (where MCPL is located); 250,000 oysters will be planted in the Bay to help clean the waters; and animal habitats will be cleaned up.

To celebrate Shark Appreciation Week in July, MCPL has created Flat Shark Finley for children to take on all their summer adventures. Grown-ups can then post pictures of Finley's adventures on social media using the tag #FlatFinley. MCPL's 21 library branches have embraced the Ocean theme and decorated in a variety of ways.

Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) is located in Montgomery County, Maryland, situated in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed just north of Washington, DC. MCPL has 21 branches of various sizes throughout the county, in locations ranging from urban to suburban to rural. Montgomery County has a population of over 1 million residents, about one-quarter of whom are children. Montgomery County ranks twelfth in US News & World Report's list of most diverse counties in the USA.

Public libraries feed hungry bodies as well as hungry minds during the summer - and throughout the year. The CSLP's Child and Community Well-Being committee encourages library involvement in activities that support wellness, from summer and afterschool meals, to well-being programming, to support for basic needs, all to help children, teens, and communities stay nourished, active, and healthy when school is out. Resources include the Libraries and Summer Food<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpreads.org%2Flibraries-and-summer-food%2F&data=05%7C01%7Clancasterc5%40michigan.gov%7Cd6ba5603c59048d9393308da7171135f%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637947027736766118%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=BKS5UJDYteo%2FOWXT%2FyOD3M40Oz9MVjd%2B4Cxz7c%2BvfW4%3D&reserved=0> page on the CSLP website; a Facebook group<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2F2383790818612681%2F&data=05%7C01%7Clancasterc5%40michigan.gov%7Cd6ba5603c59048d9393308da7171135f%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637947027736766118%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=2I2texuZ5DRadAHMakM%2B7OA1B%2B13ko%2BoayYj0LYhyOE%3D&reserved=0> for news, support, and resource-sharing; and an ongoing series of stories showcasing the experiences of libraries around the country.

Mindfulness and Movement
Gretchen Andrews, MLIS, RYT, Youth Services Librarian, Hawaii

Are you looking for a new theme for your story time program toolbox? Combining yoga with story time is a great way to introduce both mindfulness and movement into your library program. Adding the element of mindful motion is creative and engaging.

[https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/5498a30e-2472-d3e8-dcd3-20fab5e1dc32.jpeg]

Being a certified yoga teacher is not necessarily required when introducing yoga into a story time plan. There are a vast array of picture book titles that can be read aloud, and the movement instruction can be taken directly from the text. An excellent example is the book "You Are A Lion! And Other Fun Yoga Poses" by Taeeun Yoo. There are also many books that do not have yoga directly in the title or as a theme. A couple of my favorites that I keep in rotation are "Stretch", by Doreen Cronin and "Bark George", by Jules Feiffer. Both titles have animal poses that correlate with movements such as cat, cow, and dog pose that are a part of the traditional yoga sequences.

One of the key benefits for anyone who practices yoga is the breath work and meditation. Teaching children to slow down, stop, and take a deep breath is an indispensable life skill to carry on into adult-hood. "Moody Cow Meditates", by Kerry Lee MacClean is a great example of a children's picture book that couples SEL (Social Emotional Learning) and mindfulness. In today's hectic world these are two great elements to introduce to both young readers and their accompanying adults.
