What’s cooler than being cool? Owning a library card! It’s Library Card Sign-Up Month, and Snoopy of Peanuts fame is the honorary chair. It’s a perfect way to remind students that books lead to lifelong learning and a perfect time for me to give away a book on the rewards of reading and sharing stories. Plus I have gift cards and prizes waiting to be won—they could be yours!

a makerspace classic kit sounds worth investigation.
Makerspace, I love science and doing hands on experiments with students
Absolutely love Lakeshore. And I would love a new book
Makerspace would be amazing! I promote signing up for a library card in September and May. I would love the A Child of Books!!
I signed up to win of the makerspace prize to promote STEM learning. STEM is now and the future! I would love to learn to code. Both of my daughters, 5th grade and 7th grade, already know how. I feel I am being left behind.
The Lakeshore Gift card would be terrific and the book would be lovely to receive.
Makerspace for sure – I want to do more STEM!
LAKESHORE WOULD BE A GREAT HELP!
The book ‘A Child of Books’ would be an amazing addition to our classroom library. What a great mentor text this would be for writing in our Writer’s Workshop! WOW!
Love the Makerspace!
Lakeshore always has quality materials to supplement my lessons. Thank you for the chance to add to my classroom library!
I would love to win a makerspace! That would be so awesome!
The Lakeshore gift card would be a wonderful help in the classroom and reading book. ?
All sound terrific. The book would be so engaging. Makerspace, wow. Everything I need at lakeshore!
Flower Power sounds like a great fundraiser! We get so much of the usual chocolate bars and cookie dough kits, its nice to have a change.
Markerspace is a great way to lead my students into applying STEM knowledge and resources into our school gardens. Possibly building a green house and other types of gardens with our middle school students.
I work in an alternative Ed program that would really benefit from the book, or any books, and the gift card!!! 🙂
Lakeshore is my favorite place for manipulative and organizational tools.
Thanks for offering this great prize.
As a teacher who is teaching kindergarten again after 15 years, the Lakeshore gift card would be a godsend! The book would be marvelous to have!
Lakeshore items are always a treat-they are well-made and great for teaching various concepts or even letting the children learn on their own.
Having a couple of other Oliver Jeffers’ books in our school library, it would be wonderful to add his newest to the collection! Sadly the books on the science shelves in our school library are very outdated and in poor condition from wear and tear (literally) over the years, so the possibility of winning the Makerspace prize package is so exciting!!
I have been exploring the idea of incorporating a Makerspace in the library. This would jump start that idea!
A Lakeshore Gift Card.
All sound great. I love the Flower Power idea for fundraising, and I would love the book. I’m a librarian. 😉
