Our third Summer Reading webinar will be next week, Tuesday, February 10^th at 2:00 pm. I will be presenting on Online Summer Reading Options: What Services Are Out There and What Can You Do With Them. The presentation description is “There are fee and free online summer reading sites and software out there and there are libraries doing badges, clubs and games. What is out there, where do you find it, and what does it cost? Once you pick something, how do you promote it and what should you look out for? Come talk to us and find out!”

You can register at the links below for this webinar as well as the March webinar. You can find the recording for the first two webinars, an overview of the 2015 program and using learning challenges, in the Summer Reading section at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices.
