Share, Collaborate, and Inspire!

[https://mcusercontent.com/6e70654dccbd86e15c572ad55/_compresseds/de877dba-aaee-4afd-aba1-2707ebcb4ae4.jpg]Libraries across the nation have been adapting to this changing world and continue to have incredible ideas on how to transform programming and increase patron engagement in these difficult times for everyone. Why not share those ideas with your colleagues from other states?

Have you conducted a summer reading showcase for your library, library system or statewide? Inspired by the showcase the Alaska State Library sent to iREAD, we are putting out a call for more submissions. If your library, library system or State Library hasn't done a showcase but does have photos, creative flyers, or other promotional ideas, please submit those as well with a short description.

Submissions of how your library is getting ready for summer reading, featuring iREAD's theme Reading Colors Your World<https://ireadprogram.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6e70654dccbd86e15c572ad55&id=5d565da76a&e=fa97cbbf05>  can be emailed to iread at ila.org<mailto:>.
