From inception to completion, two librarians share their
experiences with an IMLS Sparks grant. Shawnee Branch of Allen County Public
Library received $ 23,421 to encourage positive
interactions between adults and their young children and promote early
learning. From story walks to yard signs and outreach to adults in parks,
thrift stores and the farmers’ market, library staff spread the word. Did
anyone get the message? Attend and find out!
Presented by Pamela Martin-Diaz, Shawnee Branch Manager and Early
Literacy Coordinator and Heather Grady, Shawnee Branch Assistant Manager and
Children’s Librarian at the Allen County Public Library
“This project is made possible
by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.”
