A couple of notes:

  1.  All sessions will be recorded and links will be provided for those who cannot attend virtually.
  2.  Registration is being handled directly by our vendors so it will not follow the typical LM registration process.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Coming later this week are additional MeL webinars to support summer reading and learning from home activities. The full schedule is below my email signature. We hope you can join us!
