“Looking Closer at Family Literacy” features the expert opinions of two Wisconsin literacy and literature authorities. Cathy Compton-Lilly is an Associate Professor in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin Madison. She offers ideas about how Wisconsin public librarians might consider family literacy in the context of underserved populations.  Megan Schliesman is a librarian at the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  She emphasizes multicultural books to use in programming, not just as items in the library collection. Learn how to better serve the young children and families in your community, even if they are not regular library users.

“1000 Books Programs in Wisconsin” features the experiences of Wisconsin public librarians who planned, launched, tweaked, and celebrated 1000 Books Before Kindergarten programs in their libraries.  Tune in for a session that will offer something for 1000 Book novices and veterans alike!
