Adventure begins at YOUR library in 2024!

Get ready for a summer of exploration and fun at this workshop focused on planning for your children's and teen programs. 

This workshop is a collaboration with SERLS, the Central Ohio Youth Services network (COYS), and the State Library of Ohio.

A lot of content will be packed into the half-day format. After an optional networking lunch at noon, you can expect:

  • Librarian-led presentations covering preschool, children's, tween, and teen programming; presenters; teen volunteer management; decorations; promoting to schools; and the Summer Library Program LSTA grant.
  • Open conversation time to discuss anything related to summer planning, ask questions, and share ideas.
  • A "Swap & Shop": attendees are welcome to bring surplus craft materials and other useable items. This is optional, and you don't have to bring something in order to take something. You may want to bring a tote bag or box to take away your new-to-you treasures!
  • An idea-sharing display. Bring a craft sample, program, or other idea to contribute.

 

This is a FREE workshop. Lunch is on-your-own. You are welcome to pack a lunch or order from a local establishment.

 

Get ready for an afternoon of learning and networking! We can't wait to see you.
