You won’t want to miss our professional development this month – it is a session on puppetry, where we will hear from an expert on using puppets in storytime and at other library programs. Art Grueneberger of Puppet Art Theater will lead our workshop!
Also, there will be a large booksale! Books we received and reviewed, or are no longer new enough to review, will be on sale! Bring your checkbook and boxes/totebags for the booksale!
Questions? Email Penny Peck at [email protected].
Planning Ahead from Angela Moffett: On October 10 we’ll be taking a field trip for our monthly meeting. It will take place at Children’s Fairyland in Oakland and Art Grueneberger will return with a puppet-making workshop! We will all continue the work of understanding how to work with puppets while building our own hand puppet to take back to our jobs and share at storytimes, outreach, school visits…wherever you’d like. More details will be coming but mark your calendars for this extra special opportunity!
As always, let me know if you have any questions and please feel free to send your ideas/wishes/hopes for professional development topics/presenters my way.
Angela Moffett, Professional Development Chair
