Thursday, November 2, 2023 - at the Library of Michigan<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=3051>

The Detroit Zoological Society and the Library of Michigan are excited to announce the return of Leap into Science training for public libraries. Participating public libraries will receive information and training on what you need to run the Leap "Light & Shadow," "Wind," and "Balance" based STEM programs.
Leap into Science is a nationwide program developed by The Franklin Institute Science Museum that integrates open-ended science activities with children's books, designed for children ages 3-10 and their families. The program empowers educators to offer workshops in community settings like libraries, museums, and out-of-school time programs to engage underserved audiences in accessible and familiar settings. Attending this training would make you a Partner Organization in our on-going Michigan Cohort. Registration<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/eventList.jsp> is limited.

Transforming Teen Services

Monday, November 20, 2023 - at the Library of Michigan<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=3052>

Join the growing LM cohort of Transforming Teen Services as we explore YALSA's core concepts of "Connected Learning" and "Computational Thinking," discuss how public libraries are already using it, and how to implement it in library communities.  Discussion will center on the use of these practices to support equity in youth programming.  Breakout sessions will further best practices regarding trending topics related to teen services. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of their work with teens and discussion questions!
Registration<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/eventList.jsp> is limited, lunch will be provided.

These workshops 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.
