Storytime for Everyone at Picture Book Read-In

We all want our storytimes to be fun, to educate, and, of course, to be
interactive. But for the more than 3.5 million Americans
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ebloomberg%2Ecom%2Fnews%2Farticles%2F2014%2D06%2D09%2Fautism%2Dcosts%2Dmore%2Dthan%2D2%2Dmillion%2Dover%2Dpatient%2Ds%2Dlife>
with
Autism Spectrum disorder – a set of disorders characterized by difficulties
in social interaction
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eautismspeaks%2Eorg%2Fwhat%2Dautism>
–
participating in storytime can prove challenging. We, however, need to be
up to that challenge, as the prevalence of Autism and Autism diagnosis
continues to increase. Between the year 2000 and the year 2010, the
prevalence of Autism in children in the United States increased
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecdc%2Egov%2Fncbddd%2Fautism%2Fdata%2Ehtml>
by
over 119%.



SWON’s Annual Picture Book Read-In
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D783715%26group%3D>
is
always a fun event, with plenty of time for you to read, of course, and to
exchange ideas with cohorts involved in public libraries, school libraries,
childcare, collection development, education… people from all types of
libraries and educational environments who work with children of all types.
And, increasingly, libraries are seeking ways to make their storytimes more
accessible for this growing number of children with Autism and other
sensory disorders.



We also hope that SWON’s Picture Book Read-In proves to be an educational
and enlightening event – not just in the sense that we hope you learn more
about the latest and greatest in picture books (we do!) and learn from each
other (you will!), but also from the informative speakers that we seek out
to provide you with new perspectives and fresh ideas.



Therefore, we hope that you will join us this August not only to read and
to network, but to hear from Hollie Miller, who will present on the topic
of “Storytimes for Children with Autism.” Hollie is an Early Childhood
Intervention Specialist with Mt. Healthy Schools, holding degrees from NKU,
Xavier and UC and will share ideas and strategies for you to meet the needs
of this growing group of children, making your storytimes more inclusive
and welcoming for all.



Having great books to share in storytime is important, and that’s why the
Read-In provides you with plenty of time to binge-read the latest and
greatest, but, after all, when it comes to storytime, books are only part
of the equation.



Early-Bird pricing for the Read-In ends soon, so register by July 31st
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D783715%26group%3D>
to
enjoy $5 off this always-popular event and hurry, because space can fill up
fast!

<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg>
Patrons: Gotta Catch 'Em All!

Chances are that even if you don’t quite know what a Pokémon is, you’ve not
managed to be unaware of the latest Augmented Reality sensation, Pokémon
Go. You may have even noticed a larger-than-usual amount of folks in your
library glued to their smartphones. However, you may not be completely
familiar with what Pokémon Go is, or you may be wondering how libraries can
use Pokémon Go to reach new patrons, so I thought I’d share some links and
ideas with you here:

                *The Basics:*

   - Pokémon Go: A Basic Primer
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eheraldtribune%2Ecom%2Farticle%2F20160719%2FNEWS%2F160719614%2F%2D1%2Fprivacypolicy%3FTitle%3DPOKEMON%2DREADY%2DSET%2DGO%2DA%2Dprimer%2D>
   - Everything you need to know about Pokémon Go
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Etheguardian%2Ecom%2Ftechnology%2F2016%2Fjul%2F11%2Ffrom%2Dpokestops%2Dto%2Dpikachu%2Deverything%2Dyou%2Dneed%2Dto%2Dknow%2Dabout%2Dpokemon%2Dgo>
   - Why your library might be a “Pokéstop”
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Egamesradar%2Ecom%2Fwhy%2Dyour%2Dlocal%2Dchurch%2Dand%2Dwater%2Dtowers%2Dare%2Dpokemon%2Dgo%2Dgyms%2Dand%2Dpokestops%2F>
   - Pokémon GO: What Do Librarians Need To Know?
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eslj%2Ecom%2F2016%2F07%2Ftechnology%2Fapplications%2Fpokemon%2Dgo%2Dwhat%2Ddo%2Dlibrarians%2Dneed%2Dto%2Dknow%2F%23%5F>



*What you can do:*

   - Why Pokemon Go and The Library is a perfect partnership
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ealsc%2Eala%2Eorg%2Fblog%2F2016%2F07%2Fpokemon%2Dgo%2Dlibrary%2Dperfect%2Dpartnership%2F>

   - Attention libraries: Pokemon Hunters WILL Visit You!
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ereddit%2Ecom%2Fr%2FLibraries%2Fcomments%2F4rpm06%2Fpokemon%5Fhunters%5Fwill%5Fvisit%5Fyou%2F>
   - Pokémon Go: Strike While the Iron Is Hot!
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpubliclibrariesonline%2Eorg%2F2016%2F07%2Fpokemon%2Dgo%2Dstrike%2Dwhile%2Dthe%2Diron%2Dis%2Dhot%2F>

Most importantly, if you are lucky enough to be a Pokéstop and want your
library to be a gathering place for Pokémon Go patrons, you’ll want to learn
how to place a lure
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eimore%2Ecom%2Fhow%2Dplace%2Dlure%2Dpokemon%2Dgo>
and
then refer to this article
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ealsc%2Eala%2Eorg%2Fblog%2F2016%2F07%2Fpokemon%2Dgo%2Dlibrary%2Dperfect%2Dpartnership%2F>
for
some great ideas on what to do when the Pokémon Go hunters come calling.

Here’s how some libraries are advertising their lures (though keep in mind,
lures will also advertise themselves!):

   - Bronx Library Center
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Enypl%2Eorg%2Fevents%2Fprograms%2F2016%2F07%2F12%2Fblc%2Dpokestop%2Dpokemon%2Dlure%2Dmodule>
   - Ridgewood Public Library
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eridgewoodlibrary%2Eorg%2F%23%21blank%2D5%2Fha4xs>
   - Marion County Public Library
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Efacebook%2Ecom%2FMarionCoPublicLibrary%2Fphotos%2Fa%2E302122664821%2E146140%2E66460504821%2F10154003576214822%2F%3Ftype%3D3%26theater>
   - Owen County Public Library
   <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eowenlib%2Eorg%2Findex%2Ephp%2F226%2Ddo%2Dyou%2Dplay%2Dpokemon%2Dgo%2Dthis%2Dlibrary%2Dis%2Da%2Dpokestop>

Lastly, if you aren’t a Pokéstop, there’s still stuff you can do. Check out
some of these ideas you can adapt from this article about how small
business can take advantage
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2534147&ymlink=28984178&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Einc%2Ecom%2Fwalter%2Dchen%2Fpok%2Dmon%2Dgo%2Dis%2Ddriving%2Dinsane%2Damounts%2Dof%2Dsales%2Dat%2Dsmall%2Dlocal%2Dbusinesses%2Dhere%2Ds%2Dh%2Ehtml>

Want to Learn More? Borrow our AR Kit!

Pokémon Go depends on a concept called Augmented Reality or “AR,” for game
play. That’s where, through the use of a viewing device (usually a
smartphone or a tablet), a virtual image can be superimposed on the real
world. Pokémon Go uses real-world locations as places where users can
“find” and train Pokémon. You can’t see them with the naked eye, but they
show up on your phone like this:

Did you know that SWON can help you and your patrons learn more about AR?
You can borrow our Augmented Reality Kit

Cassondra would love to leave you with a few programming ideas, and can
even show you how to make a Pokémon hang out at your service desk --
though, sadly, not the kind you can catch!
