Wiki for a book club for the Texas book nominees.  This idea could be used for YHBA

Some great book club ideas in this middle school blog.

This is a great post on running book clubs for kids.

Novel Conversations is a free statewide lending library creating conversations across county lines and within communities. Through Novel Conversations, Indiana Humanities lends sets of books to Indiana book clubs, offers program and discussion suggestions, arranges author speaking events, and extends social sharing opportunities. We lend more than 360 titles, primarily fiction and biography, to reading and discussion groups at libraries, senior centers, schools, and other organizations, free of charge. Books include classic titles such as Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird , as well as contemporary titles such as The Poisonwood Bible and The Time Traveler's Wife. View the book list for a complete listing.

These kits (15 copies of each book) are available via the State Library.  Contact Suzanne Walker

Nice blog from Wake County, NC that describes the books students have been reading and discussing for a mock Newbery club.  Contains 4years of lists.

From Kid Blogs-how to use blog for book clubs and lit circles.  Great examples-he has an entire presentation on this.

Children's book club kits available from Indiana State Library.  Free to those with InfoExpress.  Several of the titles are fairly recent, used in many schools

The Council has an extensive list of book sets that can be borrowed by school and public libraries, book clubs, and others.  Delivery can be free via Wheels.  Typical loan time is 6 weeks.

How one school records book reviews for their state award books

You could do something similar to this for the Young Hoosiers

This site looks like a lot of fun for younger learners. On this site, kids, parents, teachers, librarians can create, share, and access reading logs, have access to a digital dictionary, and practice spelling and vocabulary. It appears like you can even use this tool for online or hybrid book clubs. Share this with your librarian.

Although from 2003, it has some good ideas.

Great annotated list of resources. check out the comments, too.

Even if you aren't in NYC, this calendar could give you some ideas for programming and activities, whether online or in person. You might also want to join some of the online ones. Includes book clubs, crafts, tech instruction, and more

Very thorough list/pages of resources, including organizational tools, student pages, and even book suggestions.  Laura Candler sells several things on her website, but she also gives a LOT away for free.

Many examples of activities, some easily suited for the library

This is a great blog entry to share with your principal (and others).  I especially like the idea of the moleskin journal.
