Summer Reading 2022: Oceans of Possibilities

See recent recorded sessions from the NYSL Lunch and Learn series:

• Summer Meals Program and Summer Reading 2022 on March 8  https://www.summerreadingnys.org/hunger-solutions/

Looking for Summer Reading programming ideas?  Be sure to check out the 2022 SRP Collaborative Children and Teen Workshop recordings and resources!  You have access to over 30 programs, activities, and craft possibilities presented by  youth librarians across the state. FLLS teamed up with nine other systems to create and host these workshops exclusively for our member libraries in February and March.

And don’t forget the CSLP Manual!  It’s jam-packed with program ideas, activities, graphics, and reading lists for all ages.  FLLS has two print copies of the manual and you have flash drives as well as the code to access the online version.

Our SRP Workshop from March 8th is another great resource for planning, programming, and evaluation ideas.  Your colleagues shared their summer plans and Jenny highlighted  program ideas for your adult patrons.

All recordings and resources have been sent out in emails to directors and youth services staff.  Have questions or need the links again?  Email Heidi heckerson@flls.org.
