Edu-tainment: Enhancing Your Storytimes to Support Early Literacy

How do you engage children and educate caregivers simultaneously? Children's staff at Markham Public Library have developed an Early Literacy strategy centering around storytimes. Our storytimes include a parental education component along with the traditional storytime formula of books and songs.

In this interactive session, staff will discuss the initiative, lessons learned, and give suggestions on how to enhance storytimes to educate caregivers while still having fun.
