Everyone Serves Families with Young Children
Thursday, December 5
9:00 a.m. Check-in begins
9:30 – 11:30 a.m. Training
Colonie Town Library
www.colonielibrary.org
Audience: All library staff
Families with young children are
“strategic gold” for libraries. If we deliver excellent service
to parents and children in the early years, those families are likely
to stay library users and advocates.
How do families with young children experience your library? What can
you do, whatever your job, to create a positive experience that will
connect families to the library? Learn about:
- How early brain development impacts
later life
- Managing difficult situations
with parents and young children
- Ways to make your library more
welcoming to families
This training is part of the Ready
to Read at New York Libraries initiative of the New York State Library.
Presenter: Mary Fellows, Manager, Youth and Family Services, Upper Hudson
Library System
FREE to UHLS member library staff
(but be sure to register!).
All others $20.
Registration
deadline: December 2.
See attached
flyer for registration information and more details.
