Mark your calendar for the September 20th Summer Reading Program Workshop! This workshop is an opportunity for children's, teen, and adult services library staff to reflect on their 2018 SRP while beginning to outline their plans for summer 2019. The day's agenda includes:

• Table Top Displays - Libraries will display their SRP 2018 materials. Visit with your colleagues to see how their summer went and get a few ideas for changing up your 2019 materials.
  
• Ignite Session - Library staff will give a 5 minute presentation on a big change or something new they tried in 2018. Topics could include moving towards a summer learning model, going prizeless, serving summer meals, a community partnership, etc.
  
• Shout and Share - We'll collect your top SRP questions and roadblocks and invite attendees up to the mic to "shout and share" answers and solutions.
  
• Data Overview - We'll share the statewide statistics for the 2018 SRP and discuss ways to make your data work for you.
  
• Round Table Meetings - Attendees will break up into their respective round tables (CSRT, YART, or ASRT) for a deeper dive into SRP execution and planning as it pertains to their specific audience.
