Don't Sweat the Flops: an INTERACTIVE Virtual Workshop for Young Adult Library Staff! Friday, May 15, 2020 10:00 AM ET Space is extremely limited so please only register if you 1) Can attend LIVE and 2) have a webcam<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=321&>. If you cannot attend live and do not have a web cam, I'll be sharing the recording out to all to watch at a later point. Don't Sweat the Flops... It won't be perfect the first time. Or the second. Accepting this will accelerate skill building and frankly make the process a lot more enjoyable for teens. Fear of failure creates anxiety and prevents many people from even starting on a path toward growth whether it be one of personal or even professional development. This session will guide teen librarians on how to help break through that fear by making "flopping" fun. Flow Circus will introduce librarians to the flop ball; this simple, yet challenging skill toy has players use the back of their hands to throw and catch - a slight change that requires a shift in mindset and the player to pay attention in a new way. During the process, Flow Circus will provide strategies to help empower teens to get out of their own way and ask for help when they need it. Participants get a set of six flop balls as a reminder of lessons learned and to use for programming with teens. It also serves as a "pause button" that they can keep on their desk or in their pocket as a signal to pay attention to the process of the task in front of them. Again, please only register if you can attend live and have a webcam: https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=321& Hands-on, engaging webinars coming up fast for youth & teen services! Even if you can't attend live, register to get a recording. These are great opportunities to learn some tips & tricks on how to engage with your patrons, whether from a distance or in-person.

In this webinar, facilitated by Storyteller and Narrative Consultant, Jenifer Strauss, learn how to provide children with simple puppets and props from every-day household items to provide "anytime, anywhere" opportunities for narrative play.
