What a ALSC webinars are one- to two-hour sessions focusing on important topics in children's literature and librarianship. Take an hour over your lunch break or some time at home to participate. All you need is a computer and an internet connection. Webinars can help you:

· Learn about new developments in children's literature

· Cultivate new skills

· Add new ideas to your programming

· Gain insight into the history of children's librarianship

· Present new findings about the way children learn to read

· Offer tips on encouraging parents to become more active in the learning process

October and November are two wonderful months to consider taking an ALSC webinar. Can't spare any time this fall? ALSC has many more upcoming webinars coming up in the winter. Sign up for webinars at http://www.ala.org/alsced.
