Ohio Ready to Read<https://www.ohreadytoread.org/> (ORTR) is pleased to announce that registration will open soon for two workshops presented by ORTR trainers.

Storytime Foundations
Wednesday, August 26
Liberty Branch, Delaware County District Library (Powell, northwest of Columbus)
Registration opens mid-July.
Storytime Foundations is a new one-day in-person workshop built on the concepts shared at the Storytime Foundations Conference in Columbus in spring 2024. It is designed to help librarians and library workers build a strong foundation in their storytime programming.
The workshop has been live-piloted at Dayton Metro Library and Cincinnati-Hamilton County PL and is being debuted on August 26 with open registration for any Ohio library worker. Seating will be limited.

Early Literacy 101
Tuesday, September 22
Heights Libraries (Cleveland Heights)
Registration opens late July.
Ohio Ready to Read's flagship offering is a popular, hands-on one-day workshop for new and seasoned library workers in children's services and outreach. It's great for anyone who plans and presents storytimes, and for anyone who wants to learn how to help children get ready to read. Participants will learn how brain development impacts how young children learn, and will explore effective, research-based early literacy resources and activities.

Ohio public libraries host ORTR workshops. See the ORTR website<https://www.ohreadytoread.org/early-literacy-101> for details on hosting Early Literacy 101.

ORTR workshops are offered at no cost to attendees.  Registration for the upcoming workshops and for future workshops will be posted to the ORTR website<https://www.ohreadytoread.org/>.

Sincerely,
Janet
