Hiveclass Active Programming Guides

As seen in Winding Rivers Library System WRLS Weekly 10/14/22. Thanks Cole Zrostlik

As the temp begins to drop, many families are spending more and more time indoors. Kids have officially traded in the beach for books, and parents are looking to their local libraries for after school or weekend activities. Hiveclass is a mobile app that combines the fun of sports, the health benefits of physical activity, and modern technology to build competence in a variety of sports through bite-sized, connected screen time. Check out these recently-released activity guides made especially for youth services folks!

PBS Kids Community Cohort Applications Open

PBS Wisconsin Education would like to invite you to join us, along with a network of trained Wisconsin PBS KIDS library ambassadors, for an opportunity that blends professional development, hands-on learning, peer-to-peer connection, and program implementation.

Library staff who participate in the cohort will receive a stipend to cover program costs or staff time.

 

  • LEARN about high-quality, ready-to-use, educational media from PBS KIDS and gain confidence implementing these resources into your practice.
  • Become TRAINED in media literacy skills, integrating digital media resources into hands-on programming, and building family engagement connections.
  • MAKE new friends and connections to library staff and communities across Wisconsin.

 

Hear what other Wisconsin librarians have to say about the cohort:

 

The PBS cohort program gave me the bones of how to put together a multifaceted program with a start, middle and end that kids and adults enjoyed together.”

 

It's easy to not make connections with other librarians around the state because we are usually heads down and focused on our own work. It was nice to hear what other libraries are working on and know that what is most important is that we're designing a program that creates a positive experience for our patrons and staff.

 

Learn more, including the cohort schedule and how to apply with the attached flyer. Apply by NOVEMBER 18, 2022. Limited spots available! https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7053210/81c001881c6a

Free Wbinar: Tools for Building Digital Skills

Thursday, September 26
1:00 - 2:00pm (Central)
Public libraries have long been leaders in bringing people into the digital world, providing programs and services that help patrons get jobs, gain knowledge, increase productivity, and engage with others online. Leveraging and strengthening existing library and community resources can help reduce staff burden and increase the library’s impact on digital literacy. In this webinar, a panel of digital literacy experts will share tools, resources, and partnership strategies to help you enhance digital skill development among patrons and library staff.
This webinar is presented as part of the Public Library Association's (PLA) DigitalLead: Rural Libraries Creating New Possibilities project. PLA and Microsoft Corp. are helping rural populations reap the benefits of broadband internet connectivity.
PLA thanks Microsoft Corp. for its support of this webinar and the DigitalLead project.
