Event Description
Libraries are not just places for books anymore. They have become community centers offering knowledge, education and fun. Every child is unique in their own way and this workshop celebrates that. Join us as we learn ways in which libraries are using community resources and programming to engage children of all abilities.
Presenters:
Beckey Spencer, Head of Youth Services and Outreach, Kingsville Public Library and Lisa Ebersole, Director of the Ashtabula County Autism Group and Parent Mentor for the Ashtabula County Educational Service Center: Beckey and Lisa will discuss their joint program, The Puzzle Club: Social, Sensory, Reading and Activites for Special Kids of all Ages and Abilities.
Susan Berg, Executive Director, Chapters Ahead, INC. Susan will discuss the Next Chapter Book Club program. Next Chapter Book Club, through a network of NCBC Affiliates such as libraries, social service agencies or parent groups, offers community-based book clubs for adolescents and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Clubs are comprised of four to eight members and two volunteer facilitators who are trained to engage readers of all levels – including those who cannot read at all.
Rebecca Shook, Special Needs Resources Librarian, Westlake-Porter Public Library. Rebecca will share her successes and challenges in doing an Adapted (Sensory) Storytime at Westlake along with some new and upcoming programs centered around children of all abilities.
