- Creative Reading: The Antidote to Readicide Small, Ruth V. Arnone, Marilyn P. Reading Habits Role Models Creative Activities School Libraries Reading Skills Librarians Library Role Reading Motivation Reading Programs Reading Strategies Library Services Change Strategies Reading is often thought of as a skill, something to be learned and practiced. But reading can also be considered a creative art, capturing the imagination of the reader in ways that result in creative thought and expression. School librarians have a unique opportunity not only to support classroom-based reading skill building but also to serve as reading advocates and role models to foster students' creative, lifelong reading habits. Through the school librarian's enthusiasm for and joy of reading as a creative activity, students learn that reading is a pleasurable activity, one to cherish and continue throughout their lives. In this article, the authors discuss how school librarians can create a library in which creative reading activities thrive.
