This is a Two-Hour Remote Interactive Presentation with Pam Victor, President, Happier Valley Comedy. We ask you attend live with access to video/microphone.
Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone this secret: In this remote interactive presentation, professional improviser Pam Victor shares the exclusive collaboration superpower that allows improvisers to create comedy out of thin air, so you can use these trade secrets for building stronger collaboration, communication, and resilience at work. This presentation provides easily applicable techniques for quieting the inner critic to build more confidence and adaptability. You'll receive fun, hands-on experience with why we overuse "no" to restrict progress, and how we can get to a "yes" mindset in order to move forward together with more positivity and creativity. Through humorous stories and impactful exercises, you learn how to use improv superpowers to improve brainstorming, flexibility with change, team empowerment, and creative problem solving. Participants also receive links to instructional demonstrations of improv games to play online or in-person with young patrons, families, and friends.

The Collaborative Summer Library Program's 2021 theme is Tails & Tales! From the jungle to the farm, the deep blue sea to the cold arctic; animals and stories from around the globe can be featured throughout your summer programming.
Join public library staff across Michigan as we brainstorm and share ideas for early literacy, children's and teen programming, explore the 2021 manual and CSLP support, and how we might adapt programming for the unique circumstances of a pandemic. We will also have the opportunity to meet with CSLP Organizational Coordinator, Luke Kralik to learn more about how this mostly volunteer organization empowers libraries across the country to foster community through literacy. You are encouraged to come with your free account set-up on www.CSLPreads.org<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpreads.org%2F&data=04%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7Ca2510bf8e50c4093777008d8a5c48dd4%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637441610900409288%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=r8035Ekf2FNZU%2F7fJniv7BRU%2BoWPuq3SoeHwZhHn2z8%3D&reserved=0> and have the online manual already downloaded.

Best Storytime Practices series is back with Jenifer Strauss from Story Be Told!
Grab-And-Go, Tell-And-Do<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=352&>
February 23, 2021
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
During the pandemic, Youth Librarians have had to provide alternative programming to serve their young patrons and families. Virtual Storytime and curbside pick-ups have become the norm. But, what if some of these pandemic practices can remain and promote language and literacy at home? Join Storyteller and Narrative Coach, Jenifer Strauss to learn how to put together five new literacy-based language experience kits for families to GRAB at the library, take home and DO together. Instructions and material lists will be provided.

Helping Children Build a Bigger Vocabulary<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=353&>
March 23, 2021
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
Intentional and diverse language experiences are the key to helping children build a bigger vocabulary and establish reading readiness. Storytelling and Narrative Coach, Jenifer Strauss will use the five practices of early literacy featured in Ready to Read Michigan to present activities designed to intentionally provide young patrons with a plethora of interactive vocabulary building opportunities. Handouts provided.

The Power of Pre-writing and Writing Activities with Kids<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=354&>
April 20, 2021
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
We know that there is a strong literacy connection between speaking, reading and writing. Every storytime should include pre-writing or writing activities to support language and literacy skills in our young patrons but, it is often the hardest element to include.  Storytelling and Literacy Coach, Jenifer Strauss will share a process for providing engaging writing activities in your storytime plans to enrich your programs and provide parents with ways to extend the language experience when they get home.

These programs are made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.
