Do you remember an inspirational teacher? It’s a rare person who can’t recall several educators who impacted their lives positively. Teachers do so much for us, and it’s well past time to say, “Thank you.” We at Infobase know being a teacher is a challenging job. With many teachers getting fewer than 40 minutes a day to plan lessons, the best gift we can give them is the gift of time. That’s why we created The Mailbox Plus. With The Mailbox Plus, you can help teachers at your institution save time and effort by offering them access to 54,000+ fun and engaging ideas, activities, and worksheets that can help inspire students’ imaginations while teaching essential skills.

While there’s a great deal of talk about the importance of maintaining one’s physical health, mental health tends to get overlooked or even downplayed. Yet, the two are heavily interlinked. Poor physical health can lead to poor mental health, and vice versa; for example, depression can increase the risk of physical health problems, including diabetes and heart disease. As such, for librarians and educators, encouraging students and patrons to maintain physically healthy lifestyles is important, but it won’t really have an impact unless mental health and wellness is also taken into consideration. How common is mental illness? More common than you think: one study published in The Lancet Psychiatry concluded that approximately half the global population will develop one or more mental illnesses by the time they reach age 75.

Summer reading season is coming up! Librarians know that a great way to promote the library’s resources, encourage young patrons to read more, and help prevent the dreaded “summer slide” is to put on engaging summer reading programs. Infobase has a variety of engaging content you can use as part of these programs, from animated versions of the storybooks you most likely have on your shelves, to eBooks of great literary classics, to fun and informative videos to help your patrons learn more about great books and the authors who wrote them. Content for Younger Summer Readers Got any fans of Arthur or the Berenstain Bears in your community? Just for Kids streaming media for public libraries features numerous cartoons based on popular children’s book series that you can use in conjunction with the books themselves. Consider introducing a series to your young patrons by showing them an episode of it and then showing them where in the library the books are located so they can read more. Some of these cartoons include: The Berenstain Bears (Item #79830; available in the U.S. and Canada) Franklin the Turtle (Item #79831; available in the U.S. and Canada) Dr. Seuss (Item #66571; available […]
