Join Marge Loch-Wouters, storyteller, children’s librarian and blogger (http://tinytipsforlibraryfun.blogspot.com/) as she takes you on an eye-opening journey into ways to make the most of scarce time, scarce money and scarce staffing to create summer wonder and fun for kids - and you - at your library.
You’ll get ideas and stories for the upcoming summer library program, as well as explore fun ways to enhance your program mojo year-round.
