A copy of the book will be provided to each participating library system for their permanent collection.\nGuided Design Activity: Following the story\, students will participate in a guided design activity\, designing different built environments for specific animals and their communities.\n\nReaching Every County\nThis initiative aims to involve approximately 1\,300 students statewide\, with sessions planned for every county library system. By leveraging the reach of our partners at the Pennsylvania Library Association\, we are ensuring that children in all corners of the state have the opportunity to participate in this enriching program. \nGet Involved\nRegister to host an architect-led story hour and activity at your nearest county library system. \nSponsor the purchase of additional copies of Iggy Peck\, Architect for distribution to Pennsylvania libraries. \nEncourage teachers and librarians you know to lead architecture themed lessons and events. \nOther Ways to Participate in Architecture Week\nArchitecture Week is a nationwide celebration recognizing the power of good design\, with a goal of inspiring hopeful architecture and design professionals and K-12 students.  AIA National provides several opportunities for engaging with students and sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for the profession. \nDownload the Architecture Week\, Animal Dice activity to play at home or share. \nRegister for a virtual read-aloud session with children’s architecture book authors. \nGet involved in Architecture Week by sharing social media posts\, contributing to a wish list\, inviting students to your firm\, sending a letter to your local schools or libraries\, or actively engaging with students throughout the week.
