WITH PUPPETS
Join two experienced librarians as they share the magic of puppetry in library programs! This dynamic presentation will explore how puppets can captivate young audiences, enhance early literacy skills, and bring stories to life in engaging and interactive ways. Learn practical tips for selecting and using puppets, incorporating them into programming, and boosting participation and excitement in your programs. Whether you're a seasoned performer or new to puppetry, you'll leave with fresh ideas to entertain and educate your young patrons!PRESENTERS:
Christine Culp
Christine has been a Youth Librarian for 18 years working most of them in the Manatee County, Florida Public Library System. Her background is in Art and Design and she continues to freelance and share her love of art in library programming. She started playing with puppets and staging puppet shows early in her career. She also loved visiting Mister Rogers Neighborhood and was very inspired by his Land of Make Believe. She wanted to create that magic for the kids I work with.
Mandy O'Brien
Mandy O’Brien has worked as a Youth Services Librarian at the Skokie Public Library since 1999 and was the recipient of the Illinois Library Association's 2022 Youth Services Achievement Award. Before working at SPL, Mandy worked as a magazine editor and still freelances for publishers and educational organizations. She enjoys infusing social-emotional learning and early literacy techniques into her library work and believes puppets are great partners in building relationships with kids (and their grownups)."
