Prepared for Preschoolers
Presented by - Amber Basham Robson, Youth Services Librarian, Liverpool Public Library

Workshop attended and reported by:
Peg Pelletier, Newark Public Library

The last session was Prepared for Preschoolers by Amber Basham Robson (any relation Cheryl?) This young woman had a great session full of lively interaction and the typical story-time setup. It was really fun and she handed out folders full of ideas and info and tips. I got additional folders for Dorothy and Mike. My folder will be in the Children’s room for everyone who is interested to take a look at it. There are lists of songs, videos, books, and websites that can help with story times or just for craft ideas.

Amber hands out - to those attendees who want one - a sheet at each story hour of what they did that day. Then if the caregiver gets home and the child wants to repeat something she learned, they have the words/song/game right there. Neat idea.
