[Michlib-l] TALK supports for summer, including new Mission for READsquared

[Lancaster, Cathy (MDE)]

TALK is now available to public libraries in Michigan as a Mission on READsquared! Any library using READsquared can activate and encourage patrons to earn the TALK badge as part of their summer library program. Please see "Gear Up for Summer with TALK<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pO0v_zmOT7IyHyb21vfgmVkjTOcJ4M3S/view?usp=sharing>" for details on how to activate the TALK Mission. LM's Early Literacy Log<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pzVCOG7bbI-9TjxuH-rJoz3chC5vCNGH/view?usp=sharing> for #OceansOfPossibilities is also now available with the TALK QR Code inserted on back. Finally, be sure to check out the TALK May Newsletter<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FqrRuaG8SON3hjEpkFWgKjJk3Zv3g3C6/view?usp=sharing> and upcoming trainings (details below).  It is not too late for your public library to engage families through TALK<https://texttolearn.com/for-libraries/> in your community.
