Fred Rogers from Mister Roger’s Neighborhood said, “Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.” Research has shown that play helps young children develop important kindergarten readiness skills, and play is one of the five early literacy practices of ALSC’s Every Child Ready to Read initiative.  In this webinar you will see how Hennepin County Libraries have created hands-on, multi-sensory learning environments without hiring a designer. You will learn tips and best practices on how to achieve a successful play space that engages parents/caregivers as well as their children. No matter the size of your library space or the size of your budget, you can create opportunities for playful learning for the families in your community. This webinar will show you how! Presented by Tracy Hvezda-Lehtola, Youth Services Librarian and co-chair of the Early Literacy Traveling Team for Hennepin County Library.
