Story times - what are you doing?
by Lorry Traver 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Hi all, I have been trying to do virtual live story times for a few weeks now and I don't seem to be getting a large crowd from it, which I expected partially. I do have one family who regularly comes, but struggles with logging on and often has internet issues during story time. Those who are doing take-home or virtual programming only, what have you found works best for your story time? I apologize as I believe I asked this question recently, but I am trying to rethink my story time sessions to determine what my next step should be, whether moving to pre-recorded to make it easier for our patrons to view, or maybe just send home a DIY story time kit for interested families, ordering copies of the needed titles ahead of time for them to check out and use at home. Thank you ahead of time for your help! -- "You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child." - Dr. Seuss *Lorry Traver* Youth Services Coordinator Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library 211 N.
