Register Today For The July 14th Follett Software Webinar, Ready, Set, Connect: Supporting Your School Community This Year!

 

Friends, join me on July 14th at 2:00pm CST for the special new Follett Software webinar, Ready, Set, Connect: Supporting Your School Community This Year. 

As shared in the invite, 

A strong start to the school year begins with connection. In this webinar, award-winning teacher-librarian Shannon McClintock Miller will share practical ideas to help librarians get their programs, spaces, and outreach ready for back-to-school and beyond.

From refreshing your library and updating your digital presence to building relationships with teachers, administrators, families, and community partners, this session will focus on simple ways to make your library visible, welcoming, and ready to support student success from day one.

You’ll learn how to:

Prepare your physical library and digital library experience for the new year

Update tools and resources students and staff rely on, including Destiny features like carousels, Collections, and more

Promote your library program with bookmarks, posters, websites, newsletters, and other outreach materials

Make the most of back-to-school events and family engagement opportunities

Connect early with administrators and teachers to strengthen collaboration and highlight your role in learning

Build community partnerships, including reconnecting with your public library

Create a welcoming first-day experience for every student

If you are looking for fresh ideas to start the year strong, you’ll leave with practical tips to help you engage your school community and set the tone for a successful year.

Can’t attend? No problem: register, and we’ll email you the recording.

A certificate of attendance is available upon request.

You can register for our free webinar here, friends. I can't wait to see you there.
