It’s happening TODAY, the Tri-State Summer Summit!
Join us at 1:00PM for Keynote speaker Abdul-Razak Zachariah, author of
The Night is Yours. Abdul-Razak Zachariah grew up in West Haven, Connecticut, and is a children's book writer and youth worker now based in Cambridge, MA. He graduated from Yale University in 2017 where he was deeply involved in diversity and inclusion
advocacy and he received the Mellon Mays Research Fellowship and the Nakanishi Prize. Abdul's first book,
The Night is Yours, was released in July 2019 by Dial Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Penguin Random House. It won the 2020 Connecticut Book Award in the Young Readers Picture Book category.
The keynote will be followed by a conversation with
Statewide Summer Library Program staff from RI, CT, & MA from 2-3PM. We’ll explain how our programs work and what you need to know to have a fun, successful, and stress-free summer! We’ll also have plenty of time for questions.
Sessions on Thursday the 11th, from 10AM-4PM,
will cover topics such as school partnerships, burnout, podcasting, and flexibility & responsiveness (2020 anyone?!) Program Details and Webinar Links:
