Transforming Teen Services
An
In-Person Workshop, 10am-5pm ET at the three following locations:
Monday, November 14th at Bloomfield Township Public Library,
Tuesday, November 15th at KDL’s Kentwood Branch,
or
Thursday, November 17th at Otsego County Library
Having challenges with programming and interacting with teens? Be sure to join us!
This workshop will introduce participants to the core concepts of Connected Learning (CL) and Computational Thinking (CT) and how they apply to teen services.
We will explore the Connected Learning principles of relationships, interests and opportunities and how to apply the theory into practice. Using the concepts of CT as a problem-solving framework, we will take
part in an activity that introduces library staff to a project they can use for teen programming. Participate in hands-on, interactive learning and discuss what CL and CT are and how they can be integrated into teen activities. This workshop will help participants
scaffold knowledge they may already have about CL and CT and use it to recognize the ways in which CT supports CL.
Space is limited and there will be a waitlist. If you register but need to cancel, please do so 72 hours before the event so we can arrange for someone to fill your seat.
This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.

Three Lessons for Launching Successful Multilingual Programs at Your Library – WebJunction, 9.22.22
The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that 67.3 million Americans speak a language other than English at home, a number that has more than doubled since 1990.
That’s a huge number with powerful implications for social institutions, including libraries. For many of us, getting started serving those communities feels like an overwhelming task. I’m here to tell you—you can do it. And you can start today to make a significant
difference for your community with multilingual programming. Learn more!
