Happy New Year!

Stories, Songs, and Stretches! from Library Juice Academy
Spots are filling up fast for my January - April Stories, Songs, and Stretches! online certification with Library Juice Academy. This training consists of 3, four-week modules, with two-week breaks between each module. The content is released weekly for students to complete at their own pace. A combination of recorded lectures, video demonstrations, discussions, readings, group work, personal practice, and occasional in-person meetings are used to help trainees build all the skills they need to intentionally and effectively use yoga-inspired movement and mindfulness to enhance school readiness in their storytime programs. I only offer two online series per year. It’s looking like this one will fill up, so if you are wanting to join us, register today!  https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-sss.php

We will discuss how Clinton-Macomb Public Library went from little school outreach to developing a streamlined plan that allows us to see over 20,000 students a year.

These strategies can be adapted to serve communities of any size.
