A Year of Planning!
Let’s be honest for a second… Planning for a K–5 library program can feel like juggling 25 books, 5 grade levels, and a copier that definitely has a personal vendetta against you. If you’ve ever thought: “What am I teaching next week?”, “How do I keep all grade levels engaged?”, “Is there a curriculum for this… or am I just winging it?”
You are not alone.
In fact, many school librarians are building their programs from scratch with little to no guidance, which can be overwhelming fast. Been there. Lived that!
Enter… Your Whole Year, Planned!
That’s exactly why I created my Year of Elementary Library Media Center Lesson Plans for Grades K–5—a resource designed to take the guesswork out of your entire school year.
This isn’t just a few ideas thrown together. It’s a complete, structured, ready-to-use curriculum built for real-life librarians with real-life schedules.

What You Actually Get (Because Details Matter)
Inside, you’ll find everything you need to confidently walk into your library every single week:
- A full year of lesson plans (August–June!)
- Over 250 engaging lessons
- A clear scope and sequence for grades K–5
- Print-and-go activities
- Lessons covering reading, research, and digital citizenship
- Editable formats so you can tweak as needed
Basically… it’s your entire library curriculum handled.
What Makes This Different?
This isn’t one of those “looks great but takes 3 hours to prep” resources.
It’s built for real classrooms and real schedules:
- Works for fixed or flexible library schedules
- Designed with actual student attention spans in mind
- Focuses on skills that matter (without overcomplicating things)
- Includes read-aloud connections and meaningful activities
And yes—you can reuse it year after year.
Perfect For…
This resource is especially helpful if you:
- are a new librarian and don’t know where to start
- inherited a library with no curriculum
- are tired of planning week-by-week
- want lessons that are engaging and manageable
It’s basically like having a roadmap for your entire year.
