Webinar: How Bilingual Storytimes Build Early Literacy and Community

By Jennifer | July 28th, 2009 | Comment?

Register now for tomorrow’s free webinar with Laura Tarango and Valerie Wonder. Libraries are expanding storytime programming to build early literacy skills in their community. The Mission Branch of the San Francisco Public Library recently added to their popular Bilingual Toddler Tales Program (300-400 attendees!) hands-on literacy activity stations for caregivers to explore. Seattle Public Library has expanded their Summer Reading Program to include bilingual storytimes in Chinese, Vietnamese and Spanish. Both libraries have had great success in their early literacy programming and continue to build deep connections with caregivers in their communities. Join Laura children’s librarian at the Mission Branch, and Valerie, immigrant and refugee programs manager at Seattle Public Library, and you’ll hear how they assessed the community’s needs, developed and adapted the programs; and they’ll provide practical steps for you to apply to your outreach and programming efforts.
