Why don't you ...?
The theme for 2024 is Why Don’t You…? and this is designed to stimulate discussion around hobbies and leisure activities and to encourage young people to try something new.
It is not the part of nonfiction that is the most visited in the school library anymore. Ten years ago the students loved borrowing cooking books, craft books and sport books. Not any more I really need to promote books that explain how to do something. Parents encourage their children to borrow nonfiction in the hope that they 'will learn' something, not 'do' something, especially if it involves the parent's time or assistance.
Here are some 'how to' books that are in the library that I will use for a display.
• Why don't you cook?
•Why don't you do some craft?
• Why don't you knit or sew?
• Why don't you play chess?
• Why don't you go fishing?
• Why don't you go hiking?
• Why don't you do some origami?
• Why don't you do some collage?
There are so many other things you could do too...
