<br />Reading Readiness Training at Eugene Public Library <br />Early literacy programs are a high priority for the Eugene Public Library because “reading readiness” benefits individual <br />children, families, communities, and society as a whole. Each year, the Library hosts a free training on this topic for <br />childcare providers and other adults who work with local children. <br /> <br />This year’s workshop will be “STEAM for Storytimes” on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 1 p.m., at the <br />Downtown Eugene Public Library. Librarian Cynthia Olsen (shown) will demonstrate fun, <br />age-appropriate ideas for incorporating science, technology, engineering, and math into <br />storytimes and activities. She will also share tips for encouraging storytime interaction, <br />and information about resources available at the Library. Kellee Blanchard, author of <br />“Moving Joyfully,” will provide information about the crucial role that movement plays in <br />young children’s intellectual development – with audience participation! <br /> <br />For a certificate of attendance, contact Family Connections of Lane and Douglas counties in <br />advance at 541-463-3307 or 541-463-3300. For all other information, please contact the <br />Eugene Public Library: 541-682-8316 or www.eugene-or.gov/library. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />January 10, 2014 <br />
