<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">Are you always looking for new progamming ideas? Searching the internet for interesting programs you haven't tried before? </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This past Thursday, SWON hosted our Annual Spring Summer Reading Program Workshop, featuring tons of programming inspiration! Amy Caswell from Campbell County Libraries shared musical picture books and many other story time strategies after introducing participants to the "freeze dance" (that she uses in toddler and preschool programs) to get us warmed up! Amy showcased the picture books <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsmile%2Eamazon%2Ecom%2Fdp%2F1452138559%2F%3Ftag%3Dswli04%2D20"><em>One Love</em></a> and <em><a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsmile%2Eamazon%2Ecom%2Fdp%2F0192736914%2F%3Ftag%3Dswli04%2D20">What a Wonderful World</a>; </em>she uses these in musical programs to get everyone involved and build a sense of community. I spoke next and shared resources for creating your own in-library recording studio, no matter your budget, as well as programming ideas like <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fpage%2Fmakeymakey">MaKey MaKey instruments</a> and <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eslj%2Ecom%2F2015%2F11%2Ftechnology%2Fin%2Dbook%2Dclub%2Dfor%2Dkids%2Dpodcasts%2Dtween%2Dtalk%2Dis%2Dfront%2Dand%2Dcenter%2F">podcasting clubs</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Next, Jennifer Beach from Kenton County taught us how the science of sound can be addressed with music and fun, hands-on activities, and concepts that can be extended to include waves and light. We made rubber band, hair pin, and straw instruments, experimented with DIY record players, and <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive%2Egoogle%2Ecom%2Fopen%3Fid%3D1sfDSLjceXr8PnzWZAo5NP7TE%2Dz6s00EN">explored sound waves</a> with tuning forks and water. Alice Beresford from Cincinnati then showed us how to make <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive%2Egoogle%2Ecom%2Fopen%3Fid%3D1v1VgQP6WePsBnoDoFTjz25ju0OzSBpaM">even more instruments</a> out of found and recycled materials like horn hoses and <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive%2Egoogle%2Ecom%2Ffile%2Fd%2F1kRSCtEpwDSW2q2i%2DMS2z82Qhq7SdC%5Frz%2Fview%3Fusp%3Dsharing">craft stick harmonicas</a> before teaching us <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive%2Egoogle%2Ecom%2Fdrive%2Ffolders%2F1SpJXwC1t6cD7HH%5Fi5r37FG%5F1VuK45%2DG8%3Fusp%3Dsharing">how to play baritone ukelele</a>. Using only one to three simple chords, we were able to learn and play many classic and parody songs! At the end of the day, participants shared their own ideas for programming with one another. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This is just one of dozens of events SWON offers throughout the year at which you can get and share great ideas for your own library programming - whether you work with children, teens, or adults. SWON's <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2Fevent%5Flist%2Easp%3Fshow%3D%26group%3D%26start%3D1%252F18%252F2017%26end%3D%26view%3D%26cid%3D11761">Level-Up Labs</a> explore various topics in depth and in person and are offered approximately once a month; coming up next is our <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D1076018%26group%3D">Bullet Journaling lab</a> on March 28th - more information on that lab is below in this newsletter. If you're looking for new and exciting STEM programming for people of all ages, our Tech to Lend is also a great resource! I have created Google Drive folders for most of our Tech to Lend that include curriculum and lesson plans, as well as links to even more program resources. You can browse our Tech to Lend collection <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3287433&ymlink=221204633&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fpage%2Ftechlending">online here</a>, or come visit the office and see it in person.

<br />
Join Emilly Wages, SWON's Emergent Trends & Technology Educator, to discover what a bullet journal is, how it works, and how you can facilitate a bullet journaling program at your own library or school! The Bullet Journal is a customizable and forgiving organization system for people of all ages. It can be your to-do list, sketchbook, notebook, and diary, but most likely, it will be all of the above. It will teach you to do more with less!</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="2">We will learn how to set up our own "bujos" and receive many physical and online resources for teaching others how to set up and use theirs as well. We will also brain storm with one another about how bullet journaling can be used in our professional and daily lives, as well as in the lives of our patrons/students. Finally, we will discuss how we can create programming to bring this organization system to our patrons. </font></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">In this two hour level-up lab, you will receive a starter notebook (a small notebook with lines) to take home with you. If you would like to begin work on your book during the lab, please feel free to bring any supplies you'd like to use: washi tape, pens, stickers, stencils, etc. If you would rather, you are also welcome to purchase and bring your own bullet journal as well (a dot grid, lined, or even graph paper notebook will all work). </span></p>
