Join Willow Schnell of the New Sarepta Public Library as she addresses the continual issue of needing to instruct patrons one-on-one when offering new technology, materials, programs and services.

If there is no money to hire someone and no time to sit with patrons and show them how to use these resources, how can you meet the needs of your patrons when information access is changing so quickly?

Through familiar, repetitive framework, and with passive programming, this is possible for any size library with any size budget, and any size of staff.

Willow will talk about how the 40-plus New Sarepta Library learning modules were conceptualized, how the framework was developed, and how student and public-led module design has promoted innovation, discovery, and a drive for self-directed learning, while celebrating local experts in the community.

Southeast Regional Library has compiled a catalogue of the literacy kits which they make available to their region.  This kit contains kits based on Story Sack, Every Child Ready to Read, Aboriginal Literacy kits, French kits, and EAL Kits.  Kits are available for checkout to library staff, program providers, Early Childhood workers, and teachers only. 

Join Lara Grunow from the Okotoks Public Library as she provides a brief overview on how to plan and facilitate preschool programs for children (2 - 6), both parented and unparented. Templates for structuring a class and ideas of where to find craft, rhymes and song ideas will be shared.
