Boom Read, is directly connected to science?
STEAM programs and services for children can
take many forms, and every public library can find the right STEAM fit for
them. This webinar will explore the topic of STEAM programs and services for

Date & Time: 8 May 2014.
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, North America [UTC -4].
Description: Reference is still intrinsic to
library services. It is evolving with changing patron needs, varied information
resources and new delivery formats. Yet much of traditional practice remains
important to providing quality information services to patrons. In this
webinar, we will explore the balance between traditional and contemporary
reference approaches, inviting you to join this open space conversation. What
methods do you employ for reference today? What works? What doesn't? How does
social media play a role? Let’s learn from each other "how we do
reference" so we can find the best fusion of traditional and modern
reference service.
This webinar is hosted in collaboration with Drexel University Online and Drexel University's College of Computing & Informatics.
Did you know that WebJunction members can receive a 20% tuition reduction for

“Transforming Library Space for Community Engagement”
Date & Time: 22 May 2014.
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, North America [UTC -4].
Description: As libraries expand
their focus from collections to creation, physical spaces are being transformed
in ways that enhance community engagement in the digital age. Rethink how your
library’s space might be configured to better enable your patrons to interact
with technology and with each other. While future-facing libraries are pushing
boundaries, the public still perceives libraries as being primarily about
books. Learn how some key alterations to existing library space can refresh
public perceptions. We’ll look at a variety of projects, ranging from larger
room renovations to smaller libraries who redefined space on a modest scale,
yet still had a strong impact on the community.

WebJunction; Beth Farley, Head of Information and Reader
