Creative Clubs and Programming for Children's Services

Do you need creative alternatives to your traditional children's 
programming offerings? This workshop will present the organization of 
five clubs for children in the public library: craft clubs, lego clubs, 
media maker clubs, storytelling clubs, and knitting clubs. We will 
examine creation, concept, implementation, marketing, funding, and 
management. Participants will need Internet access.

Faculty: Bonnie Peirce is Head of Children's Services at the Dover Town 
Library and was recently profiled in Library Journal's Movers and 
Shakers as a 'Web 2.0 guru'. Bonnie is the founder of B3OK, an open 
global mobile knowledge network connecting the physical and digital 
worlds. She is also co-founder and CTO of thebestkidsbooksite.com , a 
growing and unique knowledge brokering service serving child-focused 
professionals and families around the world, and founder of the Library 
Goddesses Blog Network, a collaborative blog network with companion 
wikis to enable librarians across the United States and Canada to share 
their knowledge of books and their professional experience with many 
different aspects of librarianship. Bonnie is a graduate of GSLIS, 
received her business degree from Thunderbird and did her undergraduate 
work at Dartmouth College. Bonnie has traveled extensively, is an avid 
podcaster, blogger, and advocate for incorporating new media tools and 
practices into public library services, and has an abiding interest in 
global literacy; wizardhere at gmail.com
