The Library of Michigan invites you to join "Mother Goose on the Loose," Betsy Diamant-Cohen, as we explore the
Ready to Read Michigan Parent & Early Childhood Educator Toolkit. The programs in the toolkit are designed for library staff to host throughout the community, engaging and modeling early literacy practices to parents, caregivers, and early childhood
educators. Betsy will equip library staff with the information, skills, and ready-to-use tools to promote early literacy through your library.
This RTRM training will start with an introduction/refresher on the how, what and why's of early literacy skills and best storytelling practices. Then we will transition to cover the workshops in the Ready
to Read Michigan Toolkit, which are designed specifically for library staff to easily facilitate with parents and caregivers with children ages 5 and under. Lastly, participants will address the important role played by Early Childhood Educators in the development
of children from birth to age five, using familiar tips and tools on how to conduct a two-part workshop for them at your library, supported by the materials produced by
Ready to Read Michigan.
Registration is limited, lunch will be provided.

The Detroit Zoological Society and the Library of Michigan are excited to announce the return of
Leap into Science training for public libraries. Participating public libraries will receive information and training on what you need to run the Leap "Light & Shadow," "Wind," and "Balance" based STEM programs.
Leap into Science is a nationwide program developed by The Franklin Institute Science Museum that integrates open-ended science activities with children's books, designed for children ages 3-10 and their families. The program empowers educators to offer workshops
in community settings like libraries, museums, and out-of-school time programs to engage underserved audiences in accessible and familiar settings. Attending this training would make you a Partner Organization in our on-going Michigan Cohort.
Registration is limited.
9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Monday, November 20, 2023 – at the Library of Michigan
Join the growing LM cohort of Transforming Teen Services as we explore YALSA’s core concepts of “Connected Learning” and “Computational Thinking,” discuss how public libraries are already using it, and how
to implement it in library communities. Discussion will center on the use of these practices to support equity in youth programming. Breakout sessions will further best practices regarding trending topics related to teen services. Participants are encouraged
to bring examples of their work with teens and discussion questions!
Registration is limited, lunch will be provided.
These projects are 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.
Looking forward to seeing you this Fall,
