Alphabet Games
Ages 4 and older
Before your preschool program begins and if your program room has a white board, line up laminated, large-sized ABCs in the board's tray and let the children put them in order. For a small group, print each letter of the the alphabet on a separate sticky note, hand them out and have the children come and line them up in order on a wall. Then sing the ABC song during your program while pointing to the letters.
 Have parents and children play the memory game on the floor prior to or after your program. You could create a memory game by laminating cards with letters of the alphabet and bundling cards by sets of two each of three to five letters. Put the sets in strong plastic zip bags and write on the front that the adult should say and point to each letter when the child turns it over. If you make the backs of each game set different - either by color or with a graphic - you would reduce the time needed to rebundle sets that are left scattered on the floor.

 Marlena Harold and Jennifer Hopwood, two Brevard County Library System Youth Services Librarians, are the presenters for the FLYP workshops in Brevard, Orange, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Broward counties.
Photo: Marlena (left) and Jennifer (right) participated in a zombie-themed author program for Teen Read Week, which featured YA author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth series Carrie Ryan (center). The two librarians secured their program funding through grants, including ones from Dollar General and YALSA, as well as support from their Friends of the Libraries.
Take a sneak peek at their "Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse: Defense, Craft and Cupcake" on the FLYP Materials website.
This is one of the teen programs that will be highlighted at the 2012 FLYP workshops. Teen program topics in development include music, The Hunger Games and the 80s. Programs the YA workshop presenters are developing for tweens include "Star Wars and Star Trek," "Mad Science," "Super Spies and Super Criminals" and "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

Snippets
| |  More than 200 Marianna High School (Jackson County) students became published authors of I'm Almost Famous. Thanks to Friends of the Jackson County Library System and other sponsors, each student received a copy. The book was organized by the title of the books they read for summer reading; most students contributed one sentence per book read. For example, Laita Bass wrote that Julia Hoban's Willow was "...just like most teens today; she is misunderstood and looking for a way to cope." The photo is of Quanisha Johnson and Sharon Hardy laughing as they find their names in the I'm Almost Famous book. ~ from jcfloridan.com, Deborah Buckhalter, "Students Gather to Celebrate One Sentence Book," Photo by Mark Skinner (11/16/2011).
View Santa at the Millhopper Library, PAL Public Library Cooperative. After talking with Santa, the children received a treat bag.

Teens to use Technology to Tell Stories and Engage with Their Communities
YOUmedia Miami, a new program which builds on the role libraries play as places of innovation and exploration, is headed for the North Dade Regional Library, Miami-Dade Public Library System. This innovative program will teach teens to use technology as a way to tell their stories and engage with the world around them in powerful and new ways.
YOUmedia Miami will start by teaching teens basic computer literacy skills. It will build upon those skills and will offer workshops to help kids to think critically and creatively about their lives and communities. For example, kids will be able to sign up to learn how to publish an autobiographical digital story, use technology to visualize their favorite books, and create short animated films or their own video games. Adult mentors will guide them every step of the way.
"Digital skills are a prerequisite for 21st century citizenship and libraries are ideal places for young people to acquire these skills," said Jorge Martinez, Director of Information Technology at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which is supporting the program with an $805,755 grant. "YOUmedia Miami takes digital a step further, by equipping kids to use technology to be inquisitive, and to experiment with who they are, and what they and their communities can become."
Currently under construction, the YOUmedia Miami space is set to open this winter.
 The recording booth photo above was taken at the first YOUmedia location, the Chicago Public Library.
