Unprogramming:Recipes for School-Age Success

Arkansas Children’s Services Workshop

HOW YOU PROGRAM FOR KIDZ?

AND WHY?!?!?!

BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PITFALLS

I WANT TO PROGRAM...

ALL.THE.THINGS.

What can unprogramming do for us…

★ perspective

★ balance

★ celebrate books

★ Let’s kids lead the way in the program

How does what I’m doing connect kids to…

★ a book or books;

★ an author or illustrator;

★ the library and our services;

★ some aspect of kids’ interests that can

connect back to the library?

Allow me to share my secret recipe for
