LEAF again

Another days' worth of LEAF workshops tomorrow, this time in the Memorial Gardens. I hope the weather holds!

This is a good opportunity to sell our services to the children and the accompanying grown-ups. Last week's session in Littleborough Library let me present the library as a friendly, welcoming place with fun things to do and simply heaving with interesting books. This week's session lets me demonstrate that library services don't stop at the front door of the building and that the public library service is more than just a building with a sign stuck on it and some neat stuff inside.

These events are also always a good opportunity for networking and sharing ideas. I'm always happy to borrow or adapt ideas that will keep my "act" fresh with my audiences. (I wonder what I would think of some of my earliest storytimes.) Keeping a high positive profile with partners and potential partners is also money in the bank for possible future events and programmes.
