"Libraries, Children and Families: new research and policy
recommendations on role of libraries in early reading"
Date & Time: 9 July 2013. 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time [UTC -4]
Description: The importance of early childhood education was
underscored by President Obama in his most recent State of the Union address:
"Study after study shows that the sooner a child begins learning, the
better he or she does down the road." Join us to hear Susan Hildreth,
director of the Institute
of Museum and Library Services, present on a
recent report, Growing Young Minds, developed
with the Campaign for Grade-level Reading, that highlights the role of
libraries in early learning. The report also offers a plan of action for policy
makers to build on current research and include libraries in early learning
strategies. Attendees will learn about best practices for enhancing reading
programs and how to participate in your community’s efforts to address literacy
concerns. In addition, Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center’s
Internet & American Life Project, will
describe the Project’s newly released report about the
special role that libraries play in the life of families with children.
Attendees will learn what matters to parents about their library experiences
with their children, and how library programs and outreach can address those
needs.
Presenters: Susan
Hildreth, director, Institute of Museum
and Library Services, and Lee Rainie, director, Pew
Research Center Internet & American Life Project.

walls. Join us as we explore Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest as examples of
tools that are being used successfully by libraries. The webinar will cover how
to create, administer, moderate, and leverage your library’s online presence.
Some basic security settings for each social media tool will be discussed as

you can set up a dynamic mobile view of your library and dramatically extend
its visibility into many popular web services—in just 10 minutes. Learn about
