Engaging Families Through Play in Programming

Engaging Families Through Play in Programming In-Person

Maria Montessori once said, "Play is the work of the child." Learn about the importance of incorporating playtime into programming that encourages parents to become partners in play without breaking the budget. We'll share tried and true ideas from baby storytime to mindful movement and more! Check out the all the fun happening at her storytimes on Kim's blog https://ohioanlibrarian.wordpress.com/

Presenters:

Kim Alberts is an Early Childhood/Intermediate Librarian at the main branch of the Akron-Summit County Public Library.
Getting a B.A. in Theatre has served her well in that she treats every program and storytime like a performance. Kim has put her love of staying on the pulse of librarianship through serving on committees such as the 2017 Newbery Committee and the Reinberger Children’s Library Center Advisory Board and is currently the co-chair of ALSC’s Early Childhood Programs and Services Committee. She loves baked goods, yoga, and anything geeky.

Anne-Marie Savoie, Early Childhood/Intermediate Librarian, Akron Summit County Public Library
Growing up in New Jersey, Anne-Marie discovered a love of dance, especially ballet. She fostered this passion with many trips to her local library! After graduating from the University of Cincinnati with a BFA, she danced professionally for fourteen years. Since completing an MLIS from Kent State University in 2001, she’s been leaping and spinning with a different crowd as a children’s librarian.
