Youth Services News NMLA and SRP 2020 Vouchers

[Dekle, Deanne, DCA]

Good Tuesday morning Youth Services staff!
I have 2 things to tell you about today. First, I'm offering a FREE pre-conference session at the NMLA/MPLA Annual Conference this year to tie into SRP 2020, Imagine Your Story. Here's the program description:

            Bringing Stories to Life: A Storytelling Workshop for Children and Youth Librarians / Deanne Dekle, Bob Kanegis, and Liz Mangual (New Mexico State Library)
Wednesday, 9:00-4:00 in Alvarado A
Get ready for Summer Reading 2020, Imagine Your Story, with storytellers Bob and Liz! There is NO one RIGHT way to tell a story. But there may be a right way for YOU to tell a story. Learn how to enliven stories by calling on your unique voice, personality, and life experience. Explore perspectives and techniques that will hone your 'Story Sensibilities' and turn what could be dry texts into truly 'Tellable Tales.' We will also demonstrate non-threatening ways to take what you learn so that you can encourage and guide families to create a culture of reading and storytelling at home. Totally interactive workshop with approximately 10% lecture, 25% demonstration, with balance of time spent practicing with feedback, in a fun and supportive environment. Leave with increased confidence in ability to find, craft, and tell stories, and to adapt storytelling skills to support family literacy. (Public)

And second, someone asked me about SRP 2020 vouchers so I wanted to remind you all that voucher information will go to the email address that completed the 2019 end of summer, librarian survey. If that person is no longer the person who should be receiving that information, it is us to you to update me on the change. Information will go out via email sometime in November and if you're not sure who that info will go to, just ask and I will look it up for you. So, to sum up if you want your voucher to receive FREE Summer Reading stuff, make sure the email is going to the correct person!

Have a great rest of your week!
