We had a workshop a couple of weeks ago (already?!) that included a presentation by Renee Grassi about making programs more inclusive, with a special nod to summer programs.  She was so inspired about it, she wrote a blog post about the benefits and barriers to including youth with disabilities in our summer library programs.  If you didn’t have a chance to take a photo and you want to remember some of her ideas on this, check it out!

Renee’s presentation slides and other resources she suggested are available on the IFLS website.  Whether you were able to attend the workshop or not, hopefully you will find these resources useful.
