Libraries are more than books. Some kids need a little direction to get the creative juices flowing. I gleaned the following from PUBYAC contributors. If you’re a member, check out the archives for Girls Night Out, 10-27-2011. Please add YOUR comments. Your colleagues would appreciate hearing what works, and what didn't!

A fashion show to honor earth day...

• Healthy Girls Night out and tie into the theme of an earth-friendly recycling fashion show where the girls (and  boys) create own recycled costumes and present program to parents and outsiders.It was a big success and boys were able to participate as well! My program idea was inspired by the book Recycle this Book by Dan Gutman. The children each read quotes and phrases out of the book and walked the red carpet to music, (they selected), to deliver a message to future generations speaking thru a microphone (think pageant style-have an emcee announce each child by name and what they were wearing)
• Coffee and cake can follow the event. The kids had a blast designing their own outfits!
