Mark your calendars, the Summer Library Program Workshop is coming on February 11 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Menomonie. If time is going as freakishly fast for you as it is for me, you’ll want to get this in your calendar now!
Terry Ehle, the youth services librarian from Two Rivers Public Library, will be our main presenter. If you attended the IFLS webinar about creating dynamic displays (find it here) you know that Terry is a fabulous presenter full of terrific ideas to make the summer sparkle for kids, teens and families. We’ll have time for an idea swap and a little information on the hows and whys of evaluating your program, too.
Flyers are coming, but in the meantime, be sure to clear the date. It will be an inspiring, fun, and active day.
