WLA Outreach Services Roundtable Webinars!

All WLA members are invited to attend these upcoming presentations hosted by the Outreach Services Roundtable. Register to attend the presentations and/or to receive a link to the recordings. (A note from the YSS blog: "Wait...what?!?!?! You're not a WLA member?!?! Well, that is easily remedied. Stop here and join your state library association and enjoy all the great benefits!" And now back to the news... 😉)   Community Reads  Thursday, March 31  10-11 am  Register here.   Planning a community read event for your town or campus might sound like an overwhelming project that requires a grant, community buy-in, and more staff than you have. Join us to learn how public and academic libraries of various sizes have planned and funded community read events and how you can adapt their ideas to work for your library.    Contact Jennie Fidler at jfidler@oconomowoclibrary.org with questions.    Let’s Share: Bite-Sized Outreach  Wednesday, May 18  11 am-12 pm  Register here.    Not all outreach needs to be big! Learn about and discuss how different libraries have provided outreach services that are low cost and easy to execute. Share your own ideas in this short form by May 2. Examples include: complimenting book displays with relevant community resources, setting up a booth at community events, providing summer reading logs to existing outreach patrons, etc.    Contact Kelly Davis at kdavis@waukesha-wi.gov with questions.
