ONE BOOK NEW JERSEY PROGRAMS

If you have an idea for a program that you think other libraries or schools could do, please Contact Us and we'll add it to the suggested list.

• Book discussion. Suggested discussion questions for the adult, young adult and middle grade selections are all available on through this website.

• Film showing and discussion (Both To Kill a Mockingbird and The Hoboken Chicken Emergency have films available.)

• Storyhours

• Costume party - Wear an animal costume to fool Gritch.

• Trivia nights - complete with teams - who remembers the most the adult, YA or middle grade selections.

• Have your class or discussion group set up a mock trial to tie into To Kill a Mockingbird.

• Contests
  • "I went to the store for a turkey and came home with": have kids draw pictures or write a short piece to finish the sentence. Arthur came home with a 266 pound chicken - who can top that?

  • While a dunk tank might not be possible, how about a water-balloon toss and other boardwalk type games? Either just for teens - or have the teens put together the games and offer it as a family program
