<h3>Librarygram!<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p>by April Mazza<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Inspired by Michigan’s Summer Library Program webinar for “Libraries Rock!” I wanted to create a photo stand-up graphic that would be fun to share on social media. The example in the webinar involved finding a stock image of a person related to the theme
and cutting out the face so users could pose with their face in the cut out and become a “rock star”. I tried using CSLP artwork for 2018 but nothing really fit the bill for me (especially because I wanted the figure to be as inclusive as possible).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><img border="0" width="90%" id="_x0000_i1026" src="https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/librarygram.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Then I remembered a social media frame that was used at a local conference to get attendees to pose with their friends and then share the pic using the event’s hashtags. It seemed so simple and silly but was a lot of fun. I found a template online and adjusted
it for summer library programs. I then went to Staples and got some help with the printing options. If you do not have your own large format printer I highly recommend going to a copy shop that can help you. I went with 17×26 which was recommended by the staff
and because it was less expensive than the largest option (24X36). I would suggest the larger option and have it mounted on the board because it will save you time, look more professional and is sturdier!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This would have cost me about $70. I ended up mounting it myself which cost less than $20 total. If you go with the more expensive option and want to use it for future summers and/or other events you could choose a library logo and more general hashtags.
What’s great about using hashtags is that you can then search for them and use those photos for your promotions as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Either way, you can also print out CSLP artwork and mount those on skewers to use as props to add more themed images to your selfie. I plan to use the frame as an example of a promotional tool in my summer library program workshops and will raffle it off
to an attendee at the completion of the sessions so that they can use it this summer at their library.<o:p></o:p></p>

<h3>Tweens Rock! (and so do Teens!)<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p><img border="0" width="90%" id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/libraries_rock.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Peter Blenski, librarian at the Greenfield Public Library, WI has a great idea for this year’s theme:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For “Libraries Rock,” our teens and tweens will be recreating famous album covers here in the library! We’ll start the event with a big group shot, by trying to recreate The Beatles “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club” photo. Then, with iPads in hand, teens
will work in groups or alone, to recreate some famous pre-approved album covers. Costumes and props will be on hand to make their photos more realistic and fun.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><img border="0" width="90%" id="_x0000_i1028" src="https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/storytime.jpg">When they’re done, library staff will add the wording to try and replicate the actual artwork. The kids can then come back and pick up
their photos in a few days, which we’ll put in old CD cases. The parody covers will be featured throughout the kids’ library for the rest of the summer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><img border="0" width="90%" id="_x0000_i1029" src="https://www.cslpreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/wocket.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p>
