https://www.readytoreadmi.org/home. Coming SOON: A Parade of Elephants recording by the one and only Kevin Henkes!!! I’ll share it asap and you’ll be able to reshare to your families.
Also, we’re aware that you might not have been able to conduct programming around RTRM 2020 – yet. I’m working on a new timeline for the survey but feel free to use the resources and story throughout the year.
As a member driven organization, ALSC relies on the time, expertise, and dedication of our 4,000 members to create content and move association work forward. During this time, we know librarians and other practitioners working in children's
services are focusing on their families, their own work, and how to best serve those they care about and their communities. To support the library community,
ALSC has opened up some of our most recent member-driven content. We hope this helps keep your professional development and work moving forward in this time of social distancing and remote work. Find
a list of ALSC member resources that have been changed to open access for all through April 20, 2020, online.

New Teen Intern Program Toolkit
Created by past grant winners of our Teen Intern Program Grant, the
Teen Intern Program Toolkit will teach you how to successfully plan, promote, implement, and evaluate your own teen intern program. You will also read personal anecdotes shared by our contributors about the experiences
and challenges they faced implementing their own teen intern program, while reflecting on questions such as "What worked?," "What didn't?," and "What would I do differently next time?"
Read the toolkit now. A huge thank you again to all the contributors!
