Librarians: I’m thrilled to announce that I have resources just for YOU.
If you’re anything like my favorite local librarians, nothing would make you happier than seeing your patrons FIRED UP about reading this summer (and not just the kids!)
That means helping your readers find good books to read, and helping them get those books in their hands, all summer long.
The second part? That’s up to you. But I can help with the first.
To inspire your patrons in their reading journey, I’ve created a summer reading poster (sized 18×24) that lets patrons see 30 absorbing, high-interest titles at a glance. These titles are from the Summer Reading Guide (which many librarians are already using as a summer reading resource), and they’re organized by category so readers can easily see what books will appeal to them.
I’ve also created summer reading bookmarks that double as a reading list. Patrons can jot down titles they hear about from you or anyone else so they don’t have to agonize over what to read next after they finish a great book.
I designed these bookmarks to be single-sided, so you can use the other side to share your own staff’s recommended reads, upcoming library events, your library’s website information, or anything else your heart (and patrons) desire.
To get the library kit with the poster and bookmark digital files, enter your email address below. You’ll receive a link to a dropbox file in your inbox.
Book lovers: share this post with your local library!
And don’t forget:Â you can join me and throngs of devoted readers in the Summer Reading Club to read through my top 5 picks for summer.
Hope you and your library patrons have a wonderful summer of reading!

Thank you so much for this!! The time you took is greatly appreciated. Excited to share it with others!!
Love! Love! Love, this!
Thank you, Anne, this librarian appreciates all that you do to promote reading and enjoyment of great stories!
Anne, what is the poster of that I always see in the back drop? It runs from red to purple. If I had to guess, I’d say book covers.
Thanks,
I made it! You’re right, they’re Penguin book covers.
What a fantastic idea! Just sent it to my library. 🙂 Thanks!
Anne –
Where can I find the Penguin Classic Book poster above?
thanks – Jeana
I made it! From Penguin Classics postcards.
My library director sent me a link to your blog and I’s so happy she did! I would love to download the poster and bookmarks, but I can’t find any links to do so! Am I missing something?
Pop your email address into the box at the bottom of this blog post, and you’ll get the dropbox file in your inbox.
I’m having difficulty downloading the poster and bookmarks too. Any advice?
When you sign up above with your email address you’ll get a dropbox file with the downloads.
My dropbox was full. Could you resend the dropbox file with the downloads again? Thank you.
Sent!
