As we plan for an ever-changing future, it’s important to ensure your library keeps its virtual doors open. In this webinar, we’ll explore the features of a popular and useful set of digital information tools from Springshare: LibCal and LibAnswers. Many libraries have turned to these products (especially during the last 18 months) to help manage virtual contact with their communities.

Diverse Reads and Resources for Growing Lifelong Readers

Thursday, 11/4 | 2-3:30 p.m.
Presenter: Desiree Thomas (Worthington Libraries)

Studies often show that once kids and young adults lose interest in reading, it is extremely hard to get them back into this life-changing habit. Providing interesting diverse titles with subjects from different backgrounds can help keep reluctant readers engaged. In this session, attendees will explore a wide variety of resources and titles to encourage and support reluctant or struggling readers to keep them on the path to lifelong readership.
