Registration is open for the Reimagining School Readiness workshop, an interactive presentation sponsored by Ohio Ready to Read and the State Library of Ohio on Thursday, August 28 from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm at the Licking County Library, Downtown Newark location. There is no charge to attend this workshop. Registration is required.

This workshop is part of the Reimagining School Readiness initiative. Attendees will gain insights into the current research behind the skills and conditions that matter most for a child’s success in school and life.
Workshop topics include:

• key findings from current cognitive and developmental psychology research
• the implications of those findings for library staff’s daily work
• practical ready-to-implement ideas for activities
• resources for staff training and for parents/caregivers

This workshop is for Ohio library staff who work with children from ages 0 to 8 years and their families. There is no charge to attend, but registration is required and space is limited. Register here.

This training is offered free of charge through a generous grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as a part of a broader effort to disseminate the toolkit nationally.
