SUMMARY:Best of Children's Books 2020 (2-hour special)
DESCRIPTION:2020 was an exciting year in Children’s publishing! It has 
 also presented a number of challenges for libraries: shifting publication 
 dates\, impacted budgets\, and shut downs that have impacting duties\, 
 hours and staffing. It can be challenging to see the forest through the

 your covered! In this fun\, interactive\, and inherently socially distanced 
 webinar\, Jill Burket Ragase and Amy Schardein will present their must 
 have/favorite board book\, picture book\, and nonfiction titles\, published 
 in 2020. \n\n \n\nIn addition to an outstanding selection of featured 
 titles\, attendees will gain storytime and programing ideas that tie in 
 with key titles\, recommended titles for virtual class visits\, and our 
 best discoveries to share our collections in these challenging times of 
 curbside/virutal/limited interaction. \n\n \n\nJill Burket Ragase ~
