[Michlib-l] Live streaming storytime and other digital innovation

[Anne Pott]

We're already working on plans to do storytime videos and possibly D&D, reading chapter books aloud for school aged kids, posting crafting instructional videos, etc.  Our Teen Librarian cites the following article regarding legality or reading books online:

She also said that she's read comments from large publishers stating that they don't have any intention of going after schools or libraries for such things.

Let's go forth and innovate, friends!  Stay safe!

This is a great idea, if it's legal; I'm wondering if we aren't profiting from it, if it would be ok. I've also considered maybe social media live streaming too, and then saving the videos so people can access any time they want.

Good morning, everyone,

Has anyone looked at the feasibility and legality of offering live streaming storytime?

Have any libraries tried holding book group meetings, Dungeons & Dragons games, and other such events via Skype, Zoom, or another conference software program? If you have, how has that worked for you?

Does anyone have any other innovative digital ideas they would like to share with the rest of us, to get through these interesting times?
