[Michlib-l] New MeL Virtual Rooms!

[Breed, Liz (MDE)]

MeL is excited to share our new virtual library rooms! Designed to support virtual and hybrid learning, MeL's virtual library rooms provide new ways to engage patrons, spotlight your library collections, and provide a sense of place. Virtual library rooms are available for early childhood, school age, and teen patrons.

Features

  *   Rooms are created in Google Slides to offer lots of flexibility. Make your own copy and customize as much as you want, including adding your library's logo, then publish!
  *   Customize the books you place on the bookshelves, including curating by theme or topic.
  *   Clickable objects are directly linked to MeL content.
