Keeping Up With Kids

There are some great opportunities to help you keep up with the huge number of titles for children and youth–all without leaving your desk. Check out the following offers of webinars from other systems and from vendors:

The South Central Library System, together with the Cooperative Children’s Book Center, has a monthly series of 1/2 hour webinars on recommended books, CCBC Shorts. They are archived on the CCBC website. Past themes have included: great new picture books, books and boys, read-alouds, book club ideas. The CCBC librarians have a lot of great insight about books, so take a listen at your convenience.

Booklist, in cooperation with Orca Publishers, is sponsoring a webinar called Reaching Reluctant Readers: Using High Interest Fiction to Engage and Inspire on Tuesday, October 19 from 1-2 pm. Even if you can’t come at that time, if you register, they’ll send you a link to the archived webinar.

Patti Blount from Durand send me a notice about a Librarian’s Preview webinar from Scholastic about upcoming new titles. Editors and authors will be online to give plugs for their new books on Tuesday, October 19 at 12:00 noon.
