Keeping Up With Kids

In case you missed earlier notices about it, please take a look at the resources created for the Great Lakes, Great Read project, led by the Wisconsin Water Library at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Many of you have interacted with the wonderful librarian there, Anne Moser.  Check out the latest project, which includes fun programming ideas for kids and adults, tie-ins to the Wisconsin Science Festival, and more!  Here is what’s new with this project:

The Great Lakes, Great Read website is now a robust, interactive resource.

Meet the authors webinar.
Both authors will be featured in a free webinar series beginning in late September. All events will start at 6:00 p.m. central and are open to the public. Mark your calendar for September 25, October 2 and October 9. Don’t forget to register.

.. and in person
The authors will be traveling to the Green Bay area in November so please be sure to follow us on Facebook.
