An Infopeople Webinar
Presenter: Penny Peck

Whether you are relatively new or a longtime storytime presenter, everyone will take away storytime plans, booklists, and resources to revitalize this essential library program.

- New books that contain a participation, cumulative, circular, creative dramatic, dialogic reading, or concept element
- New books that enhance preliteracy skills of print motivation and awareness, phonological awareness, vocabulary, narrative skills, and letter knowledge
- Websites and other resources for storytime planning, songs, fingerplays, and other storytime essentials
- Use of toys and play in storytime
- Arranging picture books by topic to increase parent use of the library
