Public Libraries & the Science of Reading webinar
As Indiana public schools adopt state-mandated curriculums aligned with the Science of Reading (SoR), what can public libraries do to support parents and teachers? What resources might they be looking for? In this session, we'll talk about the ways libraries already support SoR through Every Child Ready to Read, and then share the adjustments we’ve made to our collections to complement the Fundations curriculum adopted by Carmel Clay Schools in 2021. 1 hr / 1 LEU

Presenter: Jennifer Humphrey started at the Carmel Clay Public Library, fresh out of library school, in 1998. Her collection development experience covers fiction, nonfiction, and parenting books, as well as audiovisual materials (DVDs, CDs, CD-ROMs, and VHS—remember those?). She assumed responsibility for the beginning readers in 2016 and hasn't given them up yet. She became the Youth Services assistant manager in 2019 and currently oversees all youth programming and is the main liaison to the local elementary schools.
