Browsing
Database:
LexisNexis
Just to be different, I decided to try browsing for something to do with having fun in school libraries.
I went to LexisNexis and I had it search for ("School librar*" fun). From those results I started browsing via the left margin that breaks the hits down by whether they are in a newspaper, magazine or journal, industry trade press, newsletter, or aggregate news source.
I decided to browse through the magazine and journal tab.

I didn't like the choices there so I went to newspapers.

The left margin breaks it down by each newspaper.

I browsed through many different newspapers including one in China, the Boston Globe, and USA Today. When I was browsing through Australia's Courier Mail, I found this article about a festival of children's literature.

I thought the browsing search went well, but it took longer than the other searches. I liked that I found a fun activity and that it was from another country.
