13...14..15...16....We are seventeen days away from the big event. And while there are several mark-your-calendar moments in this month alone, National Library Week, Spring Break, Earth Day we here at Summer Reading Program Central are concerned with one at the moment--The Catch the Beat for Your Library at Barnes & Noble event. Now is the time to really promote our statewide bookfair! While you continue to have access to the vouchers online, you should be receiving a hard copy of the press release, voucher and flier via the courier. If you have already started passing out these handsome-looking vouchers, kudos to you! For those of you who haven't, you still have time. All information and promotional material can be found at www.cmrls.org/bn.
We want to let the public know how excited we are by joining with B&N for this annual event so go ahead and advertise the Catch the Beat for Your Library at Barnes & Noble April event
! We urge you to share this information on your webpages and any other vehicle that you may use to let your library-loving patrons know of this partnership to promote literacy. And while this is a statewide affair, let your patrons know that through the "wishlist" list there is even an opportunity for your library to directly benefit from this fundraiser/bookfair. Tell them that if they would like to help you build their favorite library's collection and help support summer reading, that vouchers will be made available at cash registers in every Massachusetts and select RI, CT and NH Barnes & Noble retail stores.
And speaking of partnerships, I want to thank any and all of the librarians who expressed an interest to offer a craft and/or storytime at their local Barnes & Noble stores during April 20-21st. Your participation is sure to make this event a success! If you would still like to volunteer for that day or any other day beyond April, you're welcome to call any of the listed Southeastern Region store managers below:
