Library Orientation Videos
Hi friends!
Planning your library orientation lessons? Me, too! Surrounded by the smell of brand new school supplies and freshly waxed floors (at school, not home!), I’m getting ready for a brand new year in the library.
Here are a few of my favorite videos to incorporate in library orientation. Many of these focus on book care for our younger students.
Scaredy Squirrel Goes to the Library
Sammy the Shelf Marker
5 Book Care Rules, starring Skippyjon Jones
What Happens To Your Library Books When You Go Home?
Do you have a favorite that I’ve missed? Please share the link in a comment!
p.s.–I often use a video as an attention-grabber for a library lesson. I’ve pinned many of them to my Pinterest board for Library Videos.
There are a bunch of “Don’t Let the Pigeon” spin off videos about book care that are really cute. I’ve pinned a few of those.
Thanks, Jo! I’m following you now on Pinterest!

My Kinder kids loved this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NBXIDB4U1Cc
I also played this one for my faculty for our BOY library introduction. It was quite a hit! 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ArIj236UHs

Thanks, Sandy! I love both of those! Thanks for sharing! I’ve added them to my Library Videos Pinterest board.

How do play these??? My school blocks all youtube.com videos (so bummed!!!)
Gina- Mine does as well. I use http://keepvid.com at home to save as a wmv to play at school.
I like to introduce using shelf markers to my little guys with this one. I love youtube!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zROtGjMrqSQ&feature=related
Gina, I add s in the url and bypass ena’s blocker. For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zROtGjMrqSQ&feature=related

Sara,
Thank you for that solution! In our district, youtube can be viewed with a teacher login, but not a student login.
I love Sammy the Shelf Marker!

I used the Skippyjon video and the What Happens to my Book ones with my 1st and 2nd graders today and they LOVED them! I’m going to use Sammy the Shelfmarker next week. Thanks for sharing them!
