Papers & Programming
Here you will find some information I put together on programming for children as will as a paper I did on older adults and how technology affects their information behaviors.
Bees & Trees - Connecting International Books with Library Programming - In this project I put together a year-round program for middle or high school students to create Conservation Zines, collections of resources and ideas on ways to get others involved. It all starts with a collection of books including Global Youth Literature.
Pairing Plan: The Word Collector & Carter Reads the Newspaper (This plan was created for a public library.)
Performance Plan - Rain Makes Applesauce
Before I decided to focus on youth/school library track, I wrote a paper about technology and the information behaviors of older adults. Aging Population & Technology – How Does Technology Affect the Information Seeking Behavior of Older Adults?
Creative Writing - Discussion Group for Fan Fiction - In this paper I proposed a discussion group for a school library though it can easily be adapted to a public library setting.
Paper - Pros & Cons of K-12 International Resources. In this paper I evaluated several resources for global literature for kids and how they may be useful to a librarian.
