• Hold an open house for parents at a local school, public library, or child care center.

•  Co-sponsor the display with another organization in your community.

•  Use the display at a conference or workshop for parents or child care providers.

•  Make the display the focus of a parent meeting.

• Use the display as part of cultural events in your library, school or community.

• Use the display as a review source before ordering books for a library or school collection. All the ordering information, including publisher and ISBN number, is at your fingertips in the “Building Bridges” booklist.

•  Invite parents and other educators to help choose from the many titles.

What to do when the display and books arrive:

Set up the display board on a large table or other flat surface at least six feet long.  

Put out copies of the booklist and door hangers

You may display some or all of the books, depending on the space available. The display includes colorful baskets to hold the books or the books can be arranged face up on tables. Books should not be left in a high traffic area unattended.

Look through the books and select those that will work well for your library, home visits or in a resource library.
