Where the Wild Things Are: Children’s Discovery & Learning Spaces
This program will review how public librarians have changed children’s library spaces. Increasingly they are no longer children’s book collections and children’s story hours, and instead have become destinations for children and their caregivers for discovery, play and learning. 3 nationally known experts on these transformations will describe how to create discovery and learning spaces in libraries and how to outfit them. Time will be provided for questions and answers.
