Description: Are you looking for new picture books to offer at your storytimes?

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will have learned about many new books that can be included in storytimes, including:

- Cumulative, circular, sing-along, and audience participation books that enliven storytimes
- Books that promote the Five Parent Practices to add parent learning to your storytimes
- Books that promote preliteracy skills and kindergarten readiness, with ideas for related hands-on activities
- Books that reflect the diversity of the families we serve

This webinar will be of interest to: Any library staff member who provides storytime programs to children, including new children's librarians or other library staff who are relatively new to serving children. This webinar is particularly valuable for support staff whose work includes children's services responsibilities at public libraries and elementary schools.
