Registration is now open for Fresh Lit: Crossovers & Cross-unders in Middle Grade & YA, a free webinar presented by Sarah Bean Thompson.
Date & Time: Thursday, March 10, 2016 | 3:00 - 4:30 PM
Target Audience: Librarians, Library Assistants and Library Associates serving children (and teens)
Description & Learning Objectives:
Middle Grade readers (ages 8-12) can be a challenging group to serve in readers’ advisory. Their interests and reading levels vary widely, and they often aren't ready to make the leap to YA. How can we best serve them through literature in the library? What current and backlist titles are must-haves for middle grade readers? What's trending in middle grade? And what wonderful books are on the horizon?
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
Develop talking points for current, backlist and forthcoming middle grade and YA titles in a variety of genres to use in readers’ advisory and booktalks
Identify and share great older titles to use in simple reader's advisory for middle grade readers
Discuss current trends in middle grade fiction and nonfiction
Identify and share young adult titles suitable for middle grade
Registration is free, and we will be archiving this webinar, so if you can't participate live, you'll be able to review the recording and share Sarah's presentation slides with colleagues later. Join us!
