<p class="MsoNormal">The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) encourages participants to sign up for Summer 2015 ALSC online courses. Registration is open for all courses. Classes begin
<b>Monday, July 13, 2015.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Two of the courses being offered this semester are eligible for continuing education units (CEUs). The American Library Association (ALA) has been certified to provide CEUs by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training
(IACET). ALSC online courses are designed to fit the needs of working professionals. Courses are taught by experienced librarians and academics. As participants frequently noted in post-course surveys, ALSC stresses quality and caring in its online education
options. For more information on ALSC online learning, please visit: <b><a href="http://www.ala.org/alsced">http://www.ala.org/alsced</a>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#303030;background:white">Both schools and public libraries have the same goal to help people become lifelong learners and effective and efficient users of information. There are many mutual benefits of collaborating
with your area public schools. You already have the same audience. Why don't you reach them more effectively and benefit all involved? We will look at past successful collaborations. You will have a toolkit of sample forms to help you reach out to your fellow
school district and/or public library.</span><i><o:p></o:p></i></p>

elementary students; tips for adapting folktales and picture books into puppet presentations; strategies for rehearsal, planning, and development of puppet stories; and background about how puppet tales develop narrative skills and reading motivation from
