Get off the Bandwagon! New Approaches in SRP Programs and Services for Young Adults
Tuesday, March 5; 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Presented by: Emily Scherrer, Youth Services Manager, Yuma County Library District
Location: NeighborWorks Green Bay
Looking to enhance your tween/teen Summer Reading Program? We will look at various SRP models from around the country and discuss which models we can incorporate into our own libraries. By increasing the number of programs that encourage literacy, changing our "old school" mindset, and working with outside agencies, we can truly transform our Summer Reading Programs into local, national, and even global inspirations.
