A second new LITA webinar focused on Youth Programs: After Hours: Circulating Technology to Improve Kids’ Access <http://www.ala.org/lita/afterhourskids> Tuesday May 27, 2015 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Central Time Register now for this webinar <http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=olweb&Template=/Conference/ConferenceList.cfm&ConferenceTypeCode=X> For years libraries have been providing access and training to technology through their services and programs. Kids can learn to code, build a robot, and make a movie with an iPad at the library. But what can they do when they get home? How can libraries expand their reach to help more than just the youth they see every day? The Meridian Library (ID) <http://www.mld.org/> has chosen to start circulating new types of technology. Want to learn about Arduinos? Check one out from our library! What is a Raspberry Pi? You get 4 weeks to figure it out. Robots too expensive to buy? Too many iPad apps to choose from? Test it from your library first. Join Megan Egbert to discover benefits, opportunities and best practices. Megan Egbert Is the Youth Services Manager for the Meridian Library District (ID) <http://www.mld.org/>, where she oversees programs and services for ages 0-18. Previous to her three years in this position she was a Teen Librarian. She earned her Masters in Library Science from the University of North Texas and her Bachelors in Sociology from Boise State University. Her interests include STEAM education, digital badges, makerspaces, using apps in storytime, and fostering digital literacy. @MeganEgbert on Twitter Then register for the webinar <http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=olweb&Template=/Conference/ConferenceList.cfm&ConferenceTypeCode=X> Full details <http://www.ala.org/lita/afterhourskids> Can’t make the date but still want to join in?
