Gill will share strategies to involve adults in music play as well as how to create an inclusive environment for children with special needs. In the afternoon session, Sherry Norfolk will introduce attendees to the highly interactive art of storytelling and its applications in the public library. Norfolk will share tips for choosing and developing age-appropriate stories, effective use of voice, body language, gesture, and facial expression as well as using oral storytelling to enliven and enrich library programming. Attendees will leave with at least one story ready to tell.</font></span></p>
