[OPLINLIST] Capes and Community Heroes

[SWON Info]

At Monday’s Summer Reading Program workshop, people shared hero-related 
programs they had held in the past and pitched ideas for new programs to 
try.

Speakers from PLCH shared a twist on the build-your-own obstacle course. 
They started with a superhero outfit and a hula hoop. The hoop stands in 
for phone booth. Start the timer and the hero leaps in to don cape, mask 
and other accoutrements. Then she’s out to run the course and back to 
change into civilian dress.

They also created a superhero photo shoot. On the ground, lay out a blue 
sheet for sky and other pieces to create your scene. Then the superhero 
lays down but poses like they’re flying. Parents step up onto a ladder 
and take photos, looking down, to complete the illusion.

Racheal Mick, SWON’s CE Coordinator, put together a Pinterest board of 
community heroes 
<http://www.pinterest.com/swonlibraries/summer-reading-2015-community-hero/>. 
On it, you’ll find everything program designs, community heroes to 
invite to your library, and hero-related books for a range of ages.

Nothing’s like hearing the speakers in person, but several shared slides 
and documents you can view at the Children Services Special Interest 
Group page. You’ll need to log in with a free SWON site account 
<http://swonlibraries.org/?page=Register> first. Then go to the SIG and 
click “Group Pages” to get to the Fall 2015 Summer Reading Workshop 
page. Or log in and click this link
