Designing Children’s Spaces w/ Early Literacy In Mind

I attended this preconference on Tuesday and absolutely LOVED most of the ideas presented. It was well organized and the day seemed to fly by! This presentation gave me bunches of ideas for use in my library. I work for the Henderson Public Libraries in Henderson, NV as a Youth Services Librarian. Next year we will be opening a branch and my current building is possibly moving to a new building, so there will be lots of chances to integrate these ideas into the new buildings.

If you have money to spend, the ideas presented by Kim van der Veen from Burgeon Group or Peg Sullivan from Highsmith, were very intriguing. In fact, most of them made me think, I want that! I know when I get back to work, I’ll be chattering the ear off of my co-workers.

I am however not going to wait, there were plenty of ideas presented by Dana Bjerke, Joanna Redmann, and Kelly Wussow that were simple, low cost, and non-permanent. I have pictures of some of the ideas.

Way to go ladies, lots of great information!
