Dipping into Reading with LibraryThing

This summer, teachers all over the country have been enjoying reading, and developing their knowledge of children's books, with the National Library's summer reading programme. (See this post for information about the Auckland Centre's Reading at the Beach Launch.)

Here in the Central Region, more than 150 teachers in the Lower North Island have been taking part in Dip into Reading.

Have a look at our Dip into Reading LibraryThing page for some of teachers' favourite books this summer. Its been really fun exploring Library Thing, and seeing what books people have enjoyed.

LibraryThing has also been providing us with lists of recommended books, based on the ones in our Dip into Reading profile, and we have links to LibraryThing groups such as Read YA Lit, and Children's Fiction. For an earlier Create Readers post about LibraryThing, click here.

And to all those of you who have joined in with this programme, and added books to LibraryThing, congratulations and well done! You're really moving and shaking with the 21st Century!
