Fall 2014 Internship - Scavenger Hunts, Part Two!

The scavenger book hunts have started to take shape! I have been in contact with a staff person at the Bookmobile and she is going to give me a list of books that the Bookmibile has. This is to make sure I am not creating a clue for a book that isn't even on the Bookmobile, which would be futile! Once I receive that list, I will create my first series of hints. The first, I hope, will be a compilation of Emoji icons, and once put together, will tell the story that the patrons need to find.  Finally, I created a flyer for the scavenger hunt, which is posted below. I tried to be as clear as possible, so that the instructions are easy to follow. The last thing that is needed are people showing up to the Bookmobile and getting confused.

Our Pinterest page is growing. I added another board called "Book Activities," of which centers around activities that parents and guardians can do with their kids that reinforces the books they read together! A lot of the activities look like fun, and I hope that the followers will think so as well.

In addition to the scavenger hunt and the Pinterest page, I wrote blogs for both of the items. I will wait for approval from both Ms. Risley and the Bookmobile staff to post the scavenger hunt flyer and blog post, and will most likely post the Pinterest page blog by the end of this week.

Finally, I've compiled all of the responses from the TMF evaluation into one document and sent it back to Ms. Risley. I am hoping that these responses will help craft an even better TMF next year!

As a side note, its really exciting to see that the staff and my internship coordinator really like my ideas on how to reach more patrons of the SMCL. It really makes me fee like I am making a difference and am actually being an active member of the library, as opposed to just a "virtual intern."

Hope you are well and have a wonderful week!
