Free Services from the State for Your Patrons
Both the State Education Resource Center (https://ctserc.org/library)
and the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (https://ctstatelibrary.org/lbph/)
connect students and lifelong readers with materials for learning and fun. They can help your patrons too, plus help YOU help your patrons! Come meet the new SERC and LBPH library staff, learn about their services, see demonstrations and explanations of Assistive
Technology and Accessible Educational Materials, and learn how your own library patrons can benefit for free. After their presentations, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with each SERC and LBPH representative in breakout rooms for more targeted conversations.
This is a great session for anyone who works on the front lines of a library and anyone who likes to delight readers.
Presenters:
-
Elizabeth Karr, Librarian, State Education Resource Center
-
Claire Conroy, SLD/Dyslexia Consultant, State Education Resource Center
-
Matt Geeza, Director, Library for the Blind & Physically Handicapped
