HOW YOU PROGRAM FOR KIDZ?
AND WHY?!?!?!
BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PITFALLS
I WANT TO PROGRAM...
ALL.THE.THINGS.
What can unprogramming do for us…
★ perspective
★ balance
★ celebrate books
★ Let’s kids lead the way in the program
How does what I’m doing connect kids to…
★ a book or books;
★ an author or illustrator;
★ the library and our services;
★ some aspect of kids’ interests that can
connect back to the library?
Allow me to share my secret recipe for
