PBS Books recently announced the PBS Books Library Engagement Program, a multi-faceted initiative that targets distinct areas for library engagement.Â
The initiative offers some excellent opportunities for libraries. One Library Engagement Program is PBS Screening Rooms, in which PBS Books facilitates national screening events for libraries across the country, and in select areas, facilitates live speakers.Â
Public libraries are invited to apply to receive a programming kit for âThe Vietnam War,â a 10-part documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that will air on PBS stations beginning Sept. 17.
Is your library participating in THE GREAT AMERICAN READ? Whether you have a full slate of programs planned for the series, or you're still wavering on what to offer, a new GREAT AMERICAN READ Programming Guide for Libraries from PBS and the American Library Association (ALA) has ideas and resources that can help.
Public libraries may apply for grants to host public programs around the PBS series âThe Great American Read,â an eight-part television and online series designed to spark a national conversation about reading and the books that have inspired, moved, and shaped us, the ALA Public Programs Office announced.
Information literacy skills are a cornerstone to school library instruction. Teacher librarians have taught them for years. Why revisit them now? Before we get into how to use "Arthur" to teach media literacy, we thought it might be nice to give you a little background on why our passion for information literacy programming in school libraries was re-energized and renewed.
Join us for a one-hour webinar to hear programming and partnership ideas for "The Vietnam War."
Attendees of this session will:
âThe Vietnam War,â a 10-part documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, will air on PBS stations beginning Sunday, Sept. 17.
