Geraldine Giraffe on a “Book Safari”

To help celebrate Children’s Book Week this year the team here at CMIS Evaluation- (really it was clever Jean),  decided to decorate a book trolley so we can enter a competition in the USA held through Unshelved, the Library Comic Strip website. We plan to take our trolley – “Geraldine Giraffe” on Safari through our building to promote Book Week.

Why don’t you “Dress up Your Book Trolley” and let us know about it – a great T&E exercise and book promotion at the same time. With the help of a post tube, some sponge packaging and some animal print material – Geraldine was created. We have thought about an elephant too – it may yet eventuate.

We’ve uploaded Geraldine onto the CMIS Eval Flickr page where there are other photos available to view and use.

On the CMIS Evaluation page there’s information about how you can really make an impact during Book Week.

In May every year, libraries and information services throughout Australia showcase their many and varied resources and services through different programs and events targeted to a cross-section of the community. The week provides the opportunity to introduce new services and professional skills to the community, and to publicly canvas issues of importance to the provision of library and information services in Australia.

Schools are invited to showcase their celebrations by submitting photos of their displays and Library Week events to cmiseval@det.wa.edu.au.nospam. (please remove ‘.nospam’ from address before sending).

Teachers are advised to familiarize themselves with the current Department of Education and Training Western Australia Students Online policy [March 2008] before considering publishing photographs or video of students. More information about Managing Student Safety Online is available on the CMIS Evaluation Website.
