Upcoming Webinar
Developing and Nurturing a School-Wide Culture of Reading
Presented by Melissa Thom
Sponsored by OverDrive Education
Thursday, November 8
6pm EST / 3pm PST

Do you have passion for books but struggle to get your school community to embrace the importance of a reading culture? Are you looking for new ways to spread “book love” beyond the four walls of your library or classroom? Do you feel like you’re fighting the battle all by yourself? Join Melissa Thom as she shares effective strategies to help jump over these hurdles and cultivate a dynamic reading culture at your school. During this webinar, participants will learn:

Tangible & practical ways to develop a school-wide culture of reading tailored to meet the needs of your unique learning environment
Strategies to engage and empower all members of your school community—both students and staff members—to be active participants in a culture of reading
How to expand the definition of what constitutes “reading” to include e-books, audiobooks, and nontraditional literature in both school and classroom libraries
Tips for building and sustaining a high quality, high interest book collection on a budget

1 hour of professional development credit for live
or on-demand webinar participants.
