Creative Writing Workshops for Library Kids: From New York, NY to Norwalk, IA (ALA eLearning) Online
This is a free, member-exclusive webinar available to ALSC and YALSA members. In a world where children are often denied opportunities to use their voices, libraries can be the best possible space for them to express themselves—and how better to express oneself than through creative writing? In conversation with youth creative writing education nonprofit Cosmic Writers, librarians Joy Hariprasad from the NYPL and Catherine Shook from the Norwalk Easter Public Library will share their best practices for developing writing programming for their young patrons. The webinar will guide participants through the process of setting up creative writing programs for their libraries, from determining program structure to designing curriculum. Participants will be able to assess their population and determine the creative writing workshop structure(s) and genre(s) that will best suit their needs.
