target=_self>Series Programming for Elementary School Age</A> - (4 weeks,
February 1 - February 26, 2010)<BR>Children love series books! Lots of libraries
have one-shot series parties or events. This course would expand on the one-shot
idea and add series clubs to the library in order to get children reading and
using the library more. Using trivia, games, music and reading, children will
come back for more each week. Series such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Magic Tree
House, Spiderwick, Fancy Nancy, Froggy, Curious George, and American Girl will
be discussed.<SPAN class=753154717-22012010> </SPAN>Instructor: Lisa Shaia,

target=_self>Information Literacy - From Preschool to High School </A>- (6
weeks, February 1 - March 12, 2010)<BR>Learn how to conduct information literacy
instruction for all ages from preschool to elementary school to middle school
and beyond. Participants will be encouraged to examine their local schools’ and
state’s requirements pertaining to library skills, and to develop methods of
using the library to complement those requirements. Participants will learn
about examples of successful programs, appropriate skills for appropriate ages,
creation and presentation of programs as well as marketing of those programs;
also, participants will discuss ways that information literacy instruction can
be a useful “outreach” tool to increase library and database usage and develop
their own information literacy instruction program. Instructor: Maryann Mori,
director, Waukee Public Library</DIV>
