Rock the Drop! Support Teen Lit Day


Support Teen Lit Day: April 14, 2011.  
(Sponsored by Readergirlz)

Here's how:

1.  Copy the bookplate below and paste/tape it in a new or gently used YA book.

2.  Drop the book in a public place where a teen might find it.  Try a park bench, a bus seat, a lunch table.

3.  Take a photo of your dropped book.

4.  Post this on your blog and link back to Readergirlz (plus send your stories and photos to them!)

5.  Be creative and have fun.

I did a similar activity with my library club last year and we had so much fun sharing our book drop stories.  I want to do it again with my students this year but this time I am going ask the students to take pictures.
