For Libraries, Schools & Community Partners
Free Resources, Ready-to-Use Activities, and Meaningful Sharing Opportunities for Organizations Serving Children
Offer engaging, story-based experiences without having to create every story, activity, and sharing opportunity from scratch.
Verified libraries, schools, afterschool programs, homeschool communities, nonprofit organizations, cultural centers, and other organizations serving children receive complimentary access to growing audio story collections, flexible Activity Guides, ready-to-share materials, nationwide participation opportunities, and an optional year-round Community Showcase.
Your organization brings trusted relationships, local knowledge, and a place where children and families can participate. 365 for Kids provides the stories, activity ideas, sharing opportunities, and practical tools that can support your work.
Participation can be as simple as sharing a link with families or as involved as hosting activities and creating a Community Showcase.
What Your Organization Receives
Complimentary Audio Story Collections
Verified organizations receive free access to growing collections of stories about cultures, science, virtues, emotions, life skills, myths, and more.
Ready-to-Use Activity Guides
Flexible 30–60 minute guides include suggested ages, common materials, step-by-step ideas, discussion prompts, and an optional opportunity to share children’s work.
Flexible, Low-Preparation Participation
Use one story, host one activity, share an opportunity with families, or build an ongoing program. Ready-to-share materials help your organization invite children and families to participate.
A Real Audience for Children’s Work
Organizations may connect children with nationwide initiatives and, when approved, create a year-round Community Showcase where children’s artwork, writing, and audio can be seen and heard.
Ways We Can Work Together
SHARE
Share 365 for Kids opportunities with families through:
- newsletters;
- websites;
- social media;
- printed flyers;
- bulletin boards;
- family resource lists.
USE
Educational and community organizations may request complimentary access to the protected 365 for Kids Educational Library.
We verify the organization’s information so that the appropriate access and resources can be provided.
HOST
Choose one of the ready-to-use READ — CREATE — REFLECT— SHARE activity guides and organize a children’s session in your library, school, or community space.
Partners can adapt activities to their available time, age group, and materials.
There is no fee to request organizational access, no required schedule, and no obligation to use every part of the program.
Your organization may begin with one story, one activity, one shared opportunity, or one group of children—and expand its participation whenever it is ready.
SHOWCASE
Create a Year-Round Community Showcase
Approved organizations can create a dedicated Community Showcase featuring children’s artwork, writing, reflections, and audio created through their activities.
To use the Share Portal, an organization must first create a separate Share Portal account and receive approval from 365 for Kids. This registration is separate from the Partner Library login used to access the protected audio collections.
Once approved, the organization can return using the same Share Portal email address and password and add new materials directly to its existing showcase.
Already have an approved organization showcase?

Learning Model
Built Around READ — CREATE — REFLECT— SHARE
The 365 for Kids story-based participatory learning model connects listening and reading with creative response, meaningful reflection, and an optional opportunity to share with a real audience.
It is flexible rather than prescriptive, allowing organizations to adapt individual activities to their setting, age group, and available time.
Activity Guides
Ready-to-Use Activity Ideas
Our partner activity guides are designed to be:
- easy to understand;
- flexible for different age groups;
- possible with common library or classroom materials;
- adaptable to 30–60 minute sessions;
- connected to the 365 for Kids collections and annual programs.
Some examples:
- Story Into Art
- Science Through Art
- Read With Meaning
- One Moment. One Virtue. One Choice.
Invite Children to Read, Create, Reflect, and Share
The 2026 nationwide programs offer children ages 6–17 three different ways to participate:
Children’s Stories & Art Exhibition
Children create original visual art inspired by stories.
.
Voices from the Heart
Children read a meaningful literary passage aloud and share a short personal reflection.
.
Pages of
Virtue
Children submit original writing inspired by a virtue, a real moment, or a meaningful choice.
.
The current Program 2026 page already describes the projects collectively through visual art, recorded reading, and written reflection, and invites libraries and organizations to help children “read, create, reflect, and share their voices.”
