This time about bilingual storytimes in libraries.  Here are more
details and a link to registration: http://tinyurl.com/m5txl8 

"Bilingual Storytimes: Building Early Literacy and Community

Libraries are expanding storytime programming to build early literacy
skills in their community. The Mission Branch of the San Francisco
Public Library recently added to their popular Bilingual Toddler Tales
Program (300-400 attendees!) hands-on literacy activity stations for
caregivers to explore. Seattle Public Library has expanded their Summer
Reading Program to include bilingual storytimes in Chinese, Vietnamese
and Spanish. Both libraries have had great success in their early
literacy programming and continue to build deep connections with
caregivers in their communities. Join Laura Tarango, children's
librarian at the Mission Branch, and Valerie Wonder, immigrant and
refugee programs manager at Seattle Public Library, during this free
webinar. You'll hear how they assessed the community's needs, developed
and adapted the programs; and they'll provide practical steps for you to
apply to your outreach and programming efforts.

>From 2:00-3:00pm Eastern, 11:00am-12:00pm Pacific"

And remember, if you can't attending live tomorrow you'll be able to

Thanks everybody!
