This Storytime Recharged Guide is based on a program presented by April Mazza, MLS Consultant, and is designed to help you get inspired and recharge your storytime. The best way to get inspired is to learn what others are doing so please submit your own ideas!

1. Evaluate your program and set goals
   •   Evaluation tools from Jbrary and ICfL Read to Me
2. Don't be afraid to get rid of what you don't like
   • What can you change to make storytime better?
3. Try something new
   • Incorporate Every Child Ready to Read 2
   • Make a Songcube
   • Visit other storytimes
   • Try venues outside the library, like Farmer's Markets.

Guerrilla Storytime is when a group of youth services librarians get together and share storytime ideas, successes and challenges. The group can post their own questions or use those from the Guerrilla Storytime site to spark conversation. Here are the results of Guerrilla Storytime held in conjunction with Storytime Recharged.
