Program Description

Event Details

 

Due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, children with disabilities and their families are disconnected from their communities now more than ever before. How can libraries connect with these families with the library and the community and deliver more accessible library experiences online? In this workshop, learn about strategies for planning, implementing and evaluating virtual storytimes and other virtual programming to make them more inclusive for all.
