[cid:image001.png@01D63E48.CD00D6C0] The Association for Library Services to Children (ALSC) has released their Virtual Storytime Services Guide<http://www.ala.org/alsc/virtual-storytime-services-resource-guide>! Virtual programs are a valuable way to connect with our communities regardless of crisis. As libraries of all types expand their digital collections and explore virtual programming, ALSC offers this guide as a resource to those seeking to offer or improve storytime services from afar. While this guide primarily focuses on virtual storytime, it also includes helpful resources and suggestions for other online library experiences and virtual children's programs. If you have any resources to suggest ALSC include in this guide, please email them to info@clel.org<mailto:info@clel.org>. This evolving resource was developed in collaboration with Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy (CLEL), the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), and many other dedicated professionals in the field.
