Facilitated by: Frances Cutt, Literacy Facilitator, and Linda Ludke, Collections Management Librarian, Child and Youth Focused
Learn how to select age-appropriate, diverse, engaging titles for children 0-6 years old. We will share our favourite new titles and tips on how to spread the joy of books. Reading to children provides many learning opportunities. We will discuss how to connect extension activities to support literacy and play-based learning. We will also highlight London Public Library's Let's Talk About Race kits that can be borrowed by professionals and used within their programming.
