Gill</a> is a musician and author with unique credentials among children's artists. Jim is a child development specialist, having completed his graduate studies in child development at the Erikson Institute of Chicago with a special emphasis on the study of
play. For this reason, each of Jim's recordings and books is created as an opportunity for playful interactions between a child and a caring adult. Jim speaks to early childhood educators, care providers and children's librarians across the country about the
many benefits of play in young children's lives. Jim has shared his expertise on music, play and literacy with organizations such as Head Start, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the National Association for Family Child Care and,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Early literacy is the base upon which a child who reads with understanding is built. The goal of this 3-part workshop is to teach storytime staff how to explain, model and encourage
caregivers to help their children develop the early literacy skills needed to learn how to read. Participants will become familiar with seminal research on early literacy, how to explain its importance to caregivers while presenting fun, interactive storytimes.
This will also cover the 5 practices of <i>Every Child Ready to Read</i>, the basis of
<i>Ready to Read Michigan</i>.<br>

and programs. These courses originated with the <i><a href="https://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/smart-spaces.html" target="_blank">Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces</a></i> project, which guided 15 small libraries from around the country through this
process of transformation in their spaces and services. The participating libraries ranged in size of population served from 570 to just over 16,000. Examples of these libraries’ successful application of the process are included in all three courses. Although
the project was specifically designed to be actionable by small and rural libraries, the process can apply to any library type or size.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
