Creating your own “lending library” system with one or more partner families is an easy way to help friends interact with one another from a distance. Plus, it’s an economical way to mix up your home book collection. This activity is great because you can keep it simple or you can weave in lots of creative side projects as you prepare your swap.

You’ll Need:

• Several picture books (or chapter books for independent readers)
• Tote bag or box
• Reading log (FREE printable!)
• Paper, glue and colored pencils or markers 
• Printed “Book Review” forms (FREE printable!) (optional)
