<p class="MsoNormal">Hi y’all!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To give you a small idea of how busy my spring is….I am gone for 36 out of the next 52 days. Not including Good Friday, which we have off. I am finalizing a series of workshops (3 across the state) on bilingual storytimes and Latino outreach
with Katie Scherrer from Kentucky (thanks Krista!) that will be in late April/early May.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are reviewing the LSTA applications submitted by libraries across the state (deadline April 3<sup>rd</sup>) and we are writing our proposals for spending next year’s federal budgets (due April 26<sup>th</sup>). For my proposals I’m looking
at scholarships to send people to the YALSA Symposium; do a statewide, utterly comprehensive youth services assessment; purchase some YALSA e-courses; have some Supercharged Storytime workshops, teen brain development workshops, and possibly bring in the Green
Dot folks. AND with my state funds, I am going to attempt to plan a fall Summer Learning Summit.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I head out Monday for the second of three in-person trainings for the EXCITE: Transformation for Libraries program in CT, so I get wave at Linda! Then I’ll be at PLA – anyone else going to be there? – and squeezing in the Family Place Libraries
presentation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am also in the process of spending unobligated special projects funding to purchase 4 digital
<a href="http://starlab.com/digital-starlab/">STARLAB</a> ® projectors & domes that will tour public libraries starting in September for the following year, both as a Universe of Stories ramp-up and department-wide celebration of the 50<sup>th</sup> Moon Landing
Anniversary. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It’s certainly been a wild few weeks of weather in Kentucky with the Ohio River and all of its tributaries causing major flooding along our border with Cincinnati, as well as in deep parts of the Appalachian
Mountains. In fact, I had a summer reading workshop this week in southeastern Kentucky where several libraries cancelled at the last minute because of worries of flash flooding – they would not be able to get back home because of mountain run off…wild!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am frantically racing towards the end of a major IMLS 21<sup>st</sup> Century Librarian Grant focused on continuing education efforts to public library staff on early childhood development to increase the knowledge
of school readiness skills to their patrons. The grant has lasted the duration of my time with the agency, so it will be so strange to shift focus later this year. You can learn more about the project by visiting our support website:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In addition to providing live training in a couple weeks around Ages and Stages screening, I am wrapping up work on creating new preschool program kits, that will circulate from the state library. These kits
will be on topics related to our state’s definition of kindergarten readiness, to help librarians plan their own early childhood storytimes and programs. I have a few folks in our state whose libraries have already created similar local products, and will
be offering critiques. However, I will gladly accept any suggestions or feedbacks, as well as your favorite sources to build on our website. I hope to be able to offer the modules for free to anyone after the end of the grant, so stay tuned for more info.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
