SUMMARY:Summer Symposium
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe CT State Library Division of Library Development is 
 pleased to offer\, yet again\, the in person Summer Symposium!\n\nWhile 
 Summer library programs may look different in every town in the state\, 
 there are best practices\, training\, and ideals that can benefit all 
 library workers on town\, state\, and national levels.\n\nAt this years 
 Summer Symposium\, attendees will dive into the core concepts of connected 
 learning and how those principles can help library workers connect to the 
 youth in their communities. They will learn why and how building and 
 maintaining authentic partnerships with local organizations provide 
 opportunities to connect with community residents who aren't (or can't be) 
 regular library users. And we'll have fun exploring activities from the 
 iREAD manual and give attendees and opportunity to share some of their 
 favorite library programs with each other!\n\nThe Summer Symposium will 
 provide an opportunity for information gathering and communication around 
 summer reading\, summer services\, and how libraries serve their 
 community.\n\nThe days schedule: \n\n\n	9:30-10:00 |
