<p class="MsoNormal">If you are seeking ideas or inspiration for summer learning and reading activities for kids this summer, I wanted to draw your attention to the recording of the short, 30 minute webinar,
<a href="https://video.cengage.com/watch/oxu1dbb5C7rNZtKyZeVHzL">Leverage Gale to Support Youth Learning and Summer Reading</a>, held earlier this week.

<p class="MsoNormal">The State Library provides free access to libraries to a suite of Gale databases and resources through

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This webinar offers a great overview of four of the Gale resources that provide images, videos, articles, activity plans and other resources that can be used to support kids in summer learning and reading activities over the summer. These
are also great resources to promote with homeschooling parents. The resources highlighted include:<o:p></o:p></p>
