Guerrilla Storytime is a peer-to-peer skill sharing event, a training methodology that allows all storytime providers to learn new skills, and a public way to show how hard Youth Services librarians & Early Childhood Educators work. We will discuss topics such as: handling the wiggles, communication with parents, transitions, favorite finger plays, scarf songs, guidelines/behavioral issues, opening/closing songs, interactive books, and much more!

Group participation and sharing guides the workshop content, outcome and success.  Bring your creative brains and a willingness to contribute!
