The Association for Library Service to Children just released a white paper entitled Media Mentorship in Libraries Serving Youth. It has some helpful background, and a strong argument that libraries are uniquely positioned to act as Media Mentors for the families in our communities. It’s worth reading if you have the time.
Either way, be sure to mark your calendars for 2 workshops that will help you develop your skills as a Media Mentor: New Media Training with Carissa Christner at WITC in Rice Lake on September 18 and Media Mentor Training with Erin Walsh and Chip Donohue on October 6 at the Florian Gardens in Eau Claire.
