Stop Reinventing the Wheel... Free School Librarian Resources are Here!

My Linktree free trial ended, so I built my own free resource library! 

I am so excited to share it with you! Introducing: Lil' Country Librarian Resources

Everything on the sister site is—did I mention?—FREE! 





I'm not getting rid of my blog! I just wanted a space to create something easier for me to maintain a better curated path to my free resources. You can also find the Free Resources link on my home page at www.lilcountrylibrarian.com

What can you find right now?

I’ve been busy transferring lots of freebies over and I hope to add new ones soon! Head over to the new space to find:

  • Banners

  • Bookmarks

  • Decor, Signs & Posters

  • Editable Blank Templates

  • Library Lessons & Resources

  • Library Management

  • Library Scavenger Hunts

  • Reading & Behavior Incentives

Come on in and stay a while!

I’ve poured a lot of love into making this a helpful, stress-free corner of the internet for my fellow librarians and educators.

Frankly, I Love Books! Bulletin Board + *FREE* Banner

Looking for a fun October library display? This Frankly, I Love Books bulletin board is a quick and spooky way to celebrate reading this month. My Frankenstein bulletin board was inspired by Jamie Baker. Students love the friendly Frankenstein design, and it makes your library bulletin board or wall stand out for Halloween.

Grab my *FREE* Frankly, I Love Books banner to use in your own school library. It’s perfect for elementary librarians or teachers who want a festive, book-loving display that encourages kids to read all October long! The banner can be used as a stand-alone decoration for a book display, as well.

*FREE* Pumpkin Life Cycle Banners, Sequencing Circles & Charts


As you prepare to read Pumpkin Jack by Will Hubbell and begin the ever popular pumpkin decomposition/life cycle experiment, here's a little something to tie your experiment area together so your jar of eventual sludge will make sense to an outsider looking in. 😉

I created this set because I wanted a banner to display the week I taught the lesson, but something smaller for the rest of the year that I could place near our pumpkin jar.

You can download this freebie from my TPT store. 


Includes: 
2 sets of sequencing banners
2 sets of sequencing circles
3 pumpkin life cycle charts
2 sets of directional arrows (for sequencing banners or circles)

Happy experimenting!

*FREE* Fall Woodland Animals Printable Bookmarks

As the leaves and temperature have started changing with the arrival of fall, I'm feeling all the love for all the cute creatures out and about around our place! Seeing the deer munching in the field tonight inspired me to create some new bookmarks. 

These free fall woodland animals bookmarks are a great way to encourage reading engagement, add to seasonal displays and activities, and just for fun for those students that always want to visit the bookmark basket after check out. Does anyone else feel like they refill the bookmark basket (or whatever yours is called) on a daily basis? My students absolutely LOVE bookmarks! Plus, these will add a cozy touch to our library space.
