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. Please add YOUR comments. Your colleagues would appreciate hearing what works, and what didn't! 

Plan to feature the following books:

Cronin's Diary of a Fly, Spider, and Worm Benton's Dear Dumb Diary, Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Russell's Dork Diaries, and Dear America (various authors)

Oriental Trading has an "All About Me" poster that fits in well with a diary theme. Use this as an activity during a diary program:

Hold a Wimpy Kid trivia questions, and gave away a copy of a Big Nate book. (PUBYAC July 2013)
