Kid-powered passive programs are low-cost, low stress, and high fun programs that stretch your time and budget and increase library use/literacy support. Join two veteran passive programmers and discover multiple ways to create these DIY programs including 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, check-out clubs, exploration stations and more in this lively session. We'll also share what ideas other libraries of all sizes are doing. Adaptable and endlessly innovative, passive programs create easy-to-do programming that is available anytime the library is open and make the library a highly anticipated destination for preschoolers, school-agers and teens.
