The intent is to capture a picture book’s illustrations/pictures and text presentation of select STEM elements to expand a read-aloud or storytime session with young children. Basic STEM-IT training with picture books is followed by an opportunity to provide early feedback to the developers on the tool design.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"> </p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px">Please join us and share your expertise.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"> </p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><span class="" tabindex="0"><span class="">Thursday, November 20, 2014 from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm</span></span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"> </p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px">Location: U.S. Bank Room, Multnomah County Library's Central Branch, 801 SW 10th Ave., Portland.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"> </p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px">RSVP: Perri Parise - <a href="mailto:pparise@emporia.edu" target="_blank">pparise@emporia.edu</a> or <a href="tel:503-223-8280" value="+15032238280" target="_blank">503-223-8280</a></p></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Jane Corry<br>Youth Librarian-Belmont Neighborhood Library<br>Multnomah County Library<br>503.988.5382<br><br><br></div></div>
