TOPIC

Early literacy programming in libraries 

Please join me in wishing #LISProchat regular Stefanie Maclin-Hurd a very happy birthday! In honour of her birthday, she worked with Leigh to develop the topic and questions for this chat. She can't join in as host but she is our official co-host for the chat! Stefanie has pulled together some resources on early literacy programming for us to look it before the chat. Early literacy is a huge part of what K-12 school libraries and children's departments in public libraries take care of and these efforts have been hampered by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
