Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Place: William K. Sanford Town Library, Colonie

All thumbs with finger puppets? Flannelboard technique just doesn’t stick? Come develop new storytime techniques, hone your existing skills, or gather fresh ways to use your expertise. Upper Hudson Library System and Mohawk Valley Library System bring the best outside and inside presenters together to demonstrate, teach, coach and facilitate sharing of key storytime skills. A must for anyone with minimal storytime training!

As a special feature, author/illustrator Jeff Mack (Hush Little Polar Bear, Rub-a-Dub-Sub, Boo Bunny, Hurry! Hurry!) will join us for the last hour with a presentation on picture books. Books will be available for signing.
