Date & Time: June 11th, 2014. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM.

 

Presenter: Michael Cart


Description:

* Do you know the latest trends in Young Adult literature are?
* Looking for emerging authors?
* Need a list of the latest “hot” YA books?
* Want recommendations for the best adult books for YAs?

The world of young adult literature is a dramatically dynamic one that, in the last decade, has become among the most vibrantly active in all of publishing. Each publishing season brings a plethora of new titles, new forms, and new formats, many of which require new methods of evaluation.

Keeping up with all these changes and the over 5,000 new titles flooding the market each year can be a full-time job. This webinar will help you identify new trends and know the best new titles for your collection development.

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will be familiar with current:

* Trends informing the dynamic world of YA literature and publishing
* New YA fiction – both novels of realism and genre fiction – that comprises “first purchases” for YA collections
* Non-fiction for both recreational and classroom use
* Graphic novels and comics
* Adult books for young adults and New Adults

This webinar will be of interest to both public and school library staff with young adult collection development responsibilities.

“Creative Spaces and Family Engagement in Libraries”

 

Date & Time: June 12 th, 2014. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM.

 

Presenter: Bridget Alexander

 

Description:

 

* Struggling to infuse creativity into a cramped, quiet or quirky space?

* Tired of following powerful literature with cookie cutter crafts?

* Confounded by events attended by children 2 to 18 years old?

* Think you have to be an artist to engage children in the arts?

 

As an institution, the library has the power to teach families the joy and meaning derived from the creative process. Yet, too often, after a powerful story, we shut down the opportunity for authentic, individual responses by asking children to mass produce popsicle stick protagonists or glue soaked story props.

 

Library staff and parents often feel inadequate as artists and pass along their hang ups by safety proofing crafts or spending loads of money for professional artists to lead the workshop. In this webinar, we will rethink what it means to engage children and their families in creativity as we explore play based and process art. You will leave with very concrete ideas about designing a space and an approach that nurtures the artist in each child. As the sole access point to the arts for many families, libraries are a key force in ensuring every child can engage with the world as a creator.

 

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:

 

* Have a new way of viewing the arts that empowers them to design effective arts programs for children and families

* Gain specific ideas for designing spaces for families to engage in the arts

* Explore 5 stories and affordable and exciting arts experiences to accompany them

 

This webinar will be of interest to library staff working to engage families and enliven story times and programming for families.

“Failing in the Right Direction”

 

Date & Time: June 17th, 2014. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM.

 

Presenter: Joan Frye Williams

 

Description: What happens at your library when something doesn’t go according to plan? Do you or your colleagues find yourselves:

 

* Apologizing and promising not to let that happen again?

* Pointing out the circumstances that were beyond your control?

* Worrying about how this setback might affect your budget or your career?

* Wishing that other people had done more to support you?

* Or just feeling generally down and discouraged?

 

We hear a lot about the need for innovation and risk taking in the workplace but not so much about the flip side of that coin: failure. Failure happens. Some even say that there is no creativity without failure. In fact, many success stories – Thomas Edison, Vera Wang, Jay-Z, Dr. Seuss – are prefaced by accounts of repeated failures. Even so, the library environment has not been especially tolerant of imperfect outcomes. If we want to continue to change and grow, we’ll need to rethink how we deal with failure.

 

Though we can’t totally avoid failing, we can learn to fail more constructively. In this lively one-hour webinar, we will explore how to:

 

* Set clear parameters for what constitutes success,

* Inspire support and participation even when success cannot be guaranteed,

* Keep minor glitches from escalating,

* Isolate and correct what went wrong without shaming or blaming,

* Understand when to let go and when to regroup and keep trying,

* Extract valuable information from unsuccessful ventures,

* Care for ourselves and others when things don’t work out as well as we’d hoped, and

* Avoid repeating old mistakes while retaining the nerve to make new ones!

 

If you are a member of the library community who has ever planned, supervised, funded, participated in, or stood by helplessly during an honest effort that fell short, this webinar will offer you both practical techniques and reassuring perspectives.

“Rainbow Family Connections: Embracing LGBTQ Families at Your Library”


Date & Time: June 18th, 2014. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM.

 

Presenter:  Jamie Campbell Naidoo

* Do you know how to design displays, programs, services, and collections inclusive of these Rainbow Families?

* How do you select high-quality children’s materials representing Rainbow Families?

* Where can you find information about successful children’s library programs that welcome Rainbow Families?

 

This webinar will help library staff establish a basis for understanding the informational and cultural needs of children and adults in Rainbow Families while exploring the best resources for collection development and program planning.

 

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will be able to:

* Indentify informational needs of children and adults in Rainbow Families
