Engaging students and building relationships through blogging and social media Zac Harding - Community Learning Librarian, Christchurch City Libraries

Christchurch Kids Blog By, for, and about children living in New Zealand – especially 8 to 12 year olds living in Christchurch and Canterbury. Content would focus on books and reading, music, movies, friends, school, and both library and other local events. Linking back to library resources as much as possible.

Christchurch Kids Blog Star Bloggers - children blogging about the books they are reading. Star Authors - giving authors the chance to connect with their readers.

My Best Friends Are Books - Wordpress blogwww.bestfriendsrbooks.com Focus on children’s and young adult fiction, with reviews, news, interviews and competitions. Reviews for publishers.

Setting Up Your Own Blog Number of free options available, both hosted and self-hosted. Richard Byrne’s top 3 - Blogger, KidBlog and EduBlog. Most NZ school library blogs are Wordpress, Blogger or Weebly. Springston School Library Blog St Brendan ’ s School Library Blog

Engaging students with books and authors Post ideas to help create discussion: Who is your favourite book character? Books into movies – what ’ s your favourite?Books into movies – what ’ s your favourite? If you could visit a fictional world where would you go? If you could time travel where would you go? Which fictional character would you want as your best friend?

Engaging students with books and authors Polls are another way to promote discussion: What movies do you want to see these holidays? What ’ s your favourite history series?What ’ s your favourite history series? Character Duel – who will win? - two book/movie characters go head to head.Character Duel – who will win? What ’ s your favourite book of the year? - we pick the top four and they have to decide the winner).What ’ s your favourite book of the year?

Engaging students with books and authors Opportunity to interact with authors is, I believe, an important part of the reading experience. Interaction with authors could be through school visits, writing letters to them, commenting on an author’s blog post, or talking to them via Skype. Writers in Schools Programme - NZ Book Council Author videos and interviews on YouTube.

Connections with Publishers Mutually beneficial relationship Help you keep up to date with new releases Opportunity to review books for publishers Make contact through publicity department Support publishers by sending links to reviews of their books and highlight upcoming books.

Using social media to connect to authors, publishers, bloggers and librarians Plays an important part in helping you, as a librarian, make connections and build relationships with both publishers and authors. Twitter - best professional development tool I’ve come across. Publishers and authors - keep up to date with new releases and promote them on blogs, Twitter, Facebook and in person. You never know what could happen through making connections - had a book character named after me.

Using social media to connect to authors, publishers, bloggers and librarians Twitter handy place to connect with other bloggers. Darren from The Book Zone for Boys Vincent from Mr Ripley’s Enchanted Books Twitter also great tool to connect with other librarians and share ideas and resources. Twitter chats like #titletalk and #edutalk connect people from all around the world to talk about books and education.

Twitter Tips Follow your favourite authors, or authors that your students love. Follow other libraries and librarians from around the country. Follow the major publishers e.g. Penguin, Puffin, HarperCollins Children’s Books, Walker Books, Random House, Gecko Press.

Other Booky Apps Goodreads –Like the website the app connects users with a large population of readers and their reviews –Can add friends and follow your favourite authors so you can keep up to date with what they’re writing. Smack Fiction –Brand new mobile app (aimed at teens) that offers free sample chapters from the best books people are reading. –Explore your favourite books, discover upcoming novels, dive into free chapters, earn rewards and share with friends.

Summary Through blogging and use of social media both you and your students can become fully engaged with the books you’re reading. Blogging is about creating that engagement, generating enthusiasm, opening up dialogue and bringing books to life. Work out your audience then decide on your own style, format, contributors,and platform. Then go for it! Social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, allows you to connect to the world of children’s and young adult literature and helps you to make connections and build relationships with publishers, authors and librarians.
