Another great chat! Today we learned a lot from MeL’s K-12 Engagement Specialist, Ann Kaskinen, on how to engage with educators and meet students’ needs at this time. You can view our notes, Ann’s handouts and the full thread of the chatbox script in the 4.8.2020 MiYouth Meeting folder. All the past meeting notes can be found at: https://bit.ly/MiYouthMeetings. Don’t forget we also have a running list of Virtual Programming resources: http://bit.ly/MiYouthVirtual. Please remember that educators/school districts are encouraged to reach out to Ann and we also encourage library districts that want more training to connect directly with Theresa Runyan, MeL’s Public Library Engagement Specialist.

Next week we’ll check in on engagement with students/educators and we will also introduce some thoughts around Summer Library Programming.

MiYouth Meetings will be weekly, at 10am on Wednesdays. Please note the added PASSWORD protection:
