Today the dHL met with the Huron County Branch Managers to discuss how we might work together to bring information about their programs and events into AMDSB schools.
Huron County libraries that register with the dHL will be available to present information about their programs, upcoming events, new books, resources, and other materials for loan to entire schools reaching an audience of several hundred students at a time. My goal is to invite each library to present two sessions a year, one in the spring, and the other in the fall, which will showcase what each library has to offer students in their communities.
If every public library in Avon Maitland was reaching out to the schools in the communities they service to share information with students about their programs, imagine how many more families might visit the library? Not only do we hope to educate children about what their public libraries have to offer, we hope to bring more children and their families together to explore, learn, and have fun.
