Illinois Library System (RAILS).<br>
Staying cooped up at home has led to creative thinking throughout the library world. Youth departments in public libraries are leading the way with live and prerecorded e-storytimes for patrons. E-resources are being shared via social media and email. Now that
your library has these services situated, what next? Gather some fresh ideas about virtual services and programming BEYOND e-storytimes and rhyme videos. Attend to your patrons social-emotional needs by responding in a trauma-focused way through Lincolnwood
Public Library's intentional programming and messaging. Reconnect with families while maintaining social distancing via Vernon Area Public Library's Chalk Doodles and Pen Pal with a Librarian outreach. Finally, encourage at-home literacy activities through
Northbrook Public Library's impromptu Spring Reading Program and connect with school-age patrons through coding and gaming.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

For some children, home is not a safe place. Take a deeper look at what some children might be experiencing in this time of crisis, how it might affect learning, how to recognize the signs of abuse, and how public libraries might best serve these children.
Dr. Amelia Siders will be our presenter, she is the Director of Clinical Practice Development and Education, at the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Michigan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) partner with prosecutors, law enforcement, and protective services to coordinate the investigation of child maltreatment—often child sexual abuse. CACs also provide support
to child survivors of abuse so that those kids can get back to being kids.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:AR-SA">“Story” is a part of a child’s first language and key to exploring and understanding their world. Imaginative play is essential to a healthy childhood and a more compassionate, fulfilling
adulthood. And so, providing children opportunities for open-ended narrative play with puppets and props will not only allow them to develop social skills like sharing and cooperation, it will also help use their imagination to grow in language and literacy!
In this webinar, facilitated by Storyteller and Narrative Consultant, Jenifer Strauss, learn how to provide children with simple puppets and props from every-day household items to provide “anytime, anywhere” opportunities for narrative play.
