consistent library programs held for families, yet we often feature the “tried

books that will engage the storytime audience, including books that invite
audience participation, books the promote the five parent practices (talking,
singing, writing, playing, and reading), books based on songs and nursery
rhymes, books that promote preliteracy skills and kindergarten readiness, and
websites useful to storytime planning.
At
the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will have learned about many new
books that can be included in storytimes, including:
*
Attention-holding books for babies and young toddlers

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

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.

Description: Over two million people in the US
are estimated to be dependent on prescription opioids or heroin. A sharp rise
in drug overdoses has made it the leading cause of death among Americans under
50. This epidemic is happening in all regions of the country, in communities of
all sizes, without discrimination for age, ethnicity, or income. As library
staff see this crisis impacting their own communities, their urgent question
arises: How do we respond?
Join
us for a virtual town hall, where representatives from libraries and other
community organizations will describe their local efforts and who they’re
collaborating with. We also want to hear from you: We’ll ask audience
participants to describe the informational, structural, financial and emotional
support that library staff and community members need to withstand and address
this alarming epidemic. The insights gleaned from this town hall will be shared
to inform plans for future efforts.
This
event is jointly organized by WebJunction and Public Library Association.

Description: As hubs of lifelong learning,
public libraries are always seeking new strategies to cultivate 21st century
skills in their community members. The deeper we move into this century, the
more critical it becomes for people to hone skills like communication, collaboration,
critical thinking, global awareness and creativity. Your patrons can strengthen
these skill sets while also having fun in a social setting — through playing
tabletop games at the library. Learn about the wide array of games available
and the specific skill sets each one promotes. Hear how public librarians are
using games and get new ideas for programming and game-related projects that
you can do at your library. Your younger patrons will be ahead of the 21st
century game in no time.
