Looking for some new Teen Programming ideas? Through this webinar, High School Librarian Monica Lourenco will reflect interactive and fun library activities that Lourenco implemented at her high school during the 2021-2022 school year. Join YALSA on Thursday, October 20th, at 1 pm Central. This session will reflect four activities designed to keep the author's school library experience alive to the students and teachers as they re-enter the physical school universe but at the same time follow some social and physical distancing rules. The projects presented on the session are Book Tasting, Lunch Time Games, Book March Madness, and Giveaway Book Club. The presentation will contain a definition of each program and pictures to engage the audience visually.
